The National Institute for Research and Development in Microtechnologies –IMT Bucharest

IMTminafabThe National Institute for Research and Development in Microtechnologies –IMT Bucharest was set up by a Decision of the Romanian Government (HG 1318/1996).

IMT performs scientific research and technological development in micro and nanotechnologies. The spectrum of activities is very broad, from fundamental to industrial research, also including small-scale production, education etc.

MT was founded in 1993 and became a national institution in 1996, accumulating 20 years of experience in microsystems technology and devices – microsystems and micro-nanostructures sensitive to physical, chemical, biological; devices and circuits for RF and THz; photonics and nanoelectronics; microfluidic; microactuators. The main applications are addressed in the following areas: communications, transport, environment, energy, biomedicine and health. IMT has coordinated or participated as a partner in a number of FP7 projects and 25 type-FP7 (ENIAC, ERA-NET etc).
IMT-MINAFAB Center is an experimental feature recently renovated and in extension, which covers all development cycle for micronanosystems and devices: design, modeling, simulation, material processes, complex characterization, integration device / system reliability testing. IMT-MINAFAB white room contains space for various classes (over 600 sqm) and includes areas lithographic mask layout, micro-nanolithography, processing and physical and chemical deposits etc.
