University of Glasgow James Watt Nanofabrication Centre now officially open

News
Lord Broers has officially opened the new James Watt Nanofabrication Centre at Glasgow University.
The new facility within Glasgow University, centred on the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, will be the focus of interdisciplinary research at the nanometre scale and brings together many different research groups working in engineering and the physical and life sciences.

The Centre has comprehensive micro and nanofabrication facilities housed within 750m2 of cleanroom space including one of the most advanced large area high resolution electron beam lithography tools in the world.

The Centre opens in the same week as multi-million pound funding for a major nanoelectronics research project at the University of Glasgow was announced.

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funding, worth over £4m, is a huge boost to the James Watt Nanofabrication Centre.

Five teams from the University of Glasgow will collaborate in a £4m research project, led by Professor Iain Thayne of the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, to develop transistor technologies required for future generations of integrated circuits. It is anticipated that the work will have a major impact in key areas of electronics including microprocessors for computers, but will also be used more widely in numerous medical, safety, imaging and communications applications.

Professor Iain Thayne said: "This project between the Departments of Electronics and Electrical Engineering and Physics and Astronomy will deliver key information and understanding which will enable the semiconductor industry to continue to be one of successful in the coming decades."
