Objective
Principal characteristics of the facility and of the support offered to users:
Microsystems nowadays already have a strong presence on the market and a huge potential for the future. They penetrate many areas of application, like information and communication technology, automotive and space technology, chemical or biochemical engineering and medical technology. Microfabrication technology therefore is of more and more increasing importance for economic success, market shares, and jobs.
The Institute of Microtechnology Mainz GmbH (IMM) is a facility dedicated to develop, apply and transfer know-how in all fields of microfabrication and microsystem technology. IMM is the world's leading specialist in LIGA technology (deep lithography, micro electroforming, micromoulding), which allows the production of inexpensive, highly precise microstructures out of a large variety of materials. IMM's capabilities also cover almost all other fields of microfabrication technologies such as silicon micromachining, ultra high precision mechanical micromachining, laser micromachining and the structurization of photosensitive glass by lithographic processes. Moreover, IMM has generated cutting-edge know- | how in all important fields of microsystem applications, like microoptics (optical interconnection and packaging, integrated optics), micromechanics (micromotors and gear systems, micro assembly), micro fluidic and micro reaction systems, or tools for nanotechnology, and has advanced both microfabrication equipment and materials. IMM offers access to all its microfabrication capability and know-how, in order to enable know-how transfer throughout Europe and the development of innovative approaches and products. Such products secure jobs and create new job opportunities in Europe.
Quantity of access being offered and number of users who may benefit: In total IMM offers 720 experiment days of access within the proposed project. This corresponds to at total of about 1100 man-days of guest researchers spent at IMM, within a total of 18 guest experiments. Thus, 35 - 40 guest researchers will benefit from the project, i.e. they will realize interdisciplinary approaches combining microfabrication technology with many different new applications and receive an intense training through the day-by-day interaction with IMM's experts.
