Novel high-performance electronics and wireless

applications need in-depth materials knowledge and

processing expertise

We provide an inspiring research environment combining expertise

on three key areas:

• Fundamental research providing novel materials solutions

for electronics applications

• Industrially applicable solutions and processes enhancing

competitiveness of our partners

• Exquisite education for our students providing up-to-date

knowledge that remains valid for decades

OUR LABORATORY IS AN ATTRACTIVE CHOICE FOR STUDENTS AND

RESEARCHERS BECAUSE WE:

• Provide multidisciplinary high-quality education with career alternatives

for students Develop closer linkage of education with industry

Educates students with both skills for industry and knowledge to adapt to challenges for decades

Support clear career plans of students and researchers by careful planning and

tutoring/mentoring from more experienced employees and partners

• Create a dynamic and inspiring research environment with up-to-date

facilities Cooperative and multidisciplinary research team with up-to-date facilities and equipment

Extensive partner network with complementary expertise and facilities

Having fun while doing it

We have good facilities and

nice working environments,

nice cooperation and team

working spirit.

Many years of experience; we can

design; manufacture and test our

applications in the laboratory. also

material development for the

project is possible.

We have talented researchers from

chemistry; physics and electrical

engineering working together. We

can do both material and application

oriented research in unison.

The teaching is exquisite. The laboratory

cares for the students to really understand

what they are studying. The staff is very

friendly. The courses are interesting and

practical works are unique.

Laboratory personnell: Why are we good at what we are

doing?

Due to your expertise in

Microelectronics and especially

characterisation and processing

of Ceramic materials.

Collaboration has been

easy and we urge to

continue and deepen

it.

Materials technology

expertise is superior.

Also because you are

situated close - Easy to

communicate

Industrial partners: What makes us a good partner?
