What the buyer is looking for
The equipment will be allocated to the Singular Scientific and Technical Infrastructure (ICTS) MICRONANOFABS, a Spanish network of micro and nanofabrication clean rooms integrated into the National ICTS Map of the Ministry responsible for science, of which the Micro and Nano Manufacturing Infrastructure of the Nanofotonic Technology Center (NTC) of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) is part, together with the National Microelectronics Center (CSIC) and the ISOM Technology Center (UPM). The facility will be located in the White Room of the 8F building of the NTC-UPV. The Nanophotonic Technology Center develops manufacturing processes for integrated photonic devices, biosensors, integrated optics components, quantum devices, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), microfluidic structures and nanophotonic systems on a wide variety of materials, including silicon, silicon nitride,…

… glass, quartz, III-V materials, dielectric materials and hybrid structures. As ICTS integrated into the MICRONANOFABS network, the NTC-UPV provides micro and nanofabrication services to national and international research groups, as well as companies, within the framework of competitive projects, technology transfer contracts and provision of advanced services. This condition of unique infrastructure of shared use obliges to maintain an updated, robust instrumental endowment and of benefits according to the state of the art, that allows to respond both to the own lines of research and to the external demand of the scientific and industrial community, in line with the objectives of the PERTE Chip for the strengthening of the national capacities of microelectronics and photonics. Many of the devices manufactured in the infrastructure require highly accurate physical engraving processes on materials for which conventional (wet) chemical engraving processes do not provide the necessary surface quality, anisotropy or selectivity. Likewise, the increasing complexity of the devices developed requires highly reproducible processes, with precise control of the angle of incidence of the beam, high process stability, automation and continuous monitoring.
