The cleanrooms contain semiconductor processing equipment for lithography, etching and deposition as well as test and measuring equipment such as SEMs. In total there are some 200+ pieces of equipment that are used across a range of technology platforms.
Services
In addition to R&D services, Micronova offers training, education and small scale manufacturing. R&D services include design, prototypes, process development and characterization
Activities
Other activities
• Small scale manufacturing services through VTT Memsfab and cleanroom usage by tenant companies.
• Industry networking events and seminars on relevant technology topics
VTT is an applied research institute so typically operates on developing technologies between TRL levels 3-7, however some selected work may extend into higher TRLs on certain customer contracts
