About Electrum Laboratory

Complete process lines

The Electrum Laboratory constitutes a world class resource for nano- and microfabrication. We provide comprehensive facilities including

·        a fully equipped cleanroom laboratory with complete process lines for device processing

·        state-of-the-art laboratories for advanced materials- and device characterization.

·        sophisticated software for device simulation and design.

Our strengths

Research and Development

Our activities are centered around our core of research- and development groups. These groups are world leading and have created major breakthroughs within their fields by inventing, designing, and manufacturing novel devices. Ground-breaking processes are developed and established for both research and small scale production.

Production

Numerous spin-offs are generated from our research and development groups. The start-up companies have further matured in our incubator, where they have readily access to our well established and highly reliable processes as well as to our enabling development facilities for both production and further improvement of their products..

Education

In our flexible laboratory environment we have a unique possibility to create and present advanced courses in state of the art nano- and microfabrication technologies, advanced characterization techniques and modern device design for both undergraduate and graduate students.

Clean room to rent

The Electrum Laboratory offers you the possibility to realize your unique ideas in our highly flexible and dynamic environment. We offer readily access to processes and characterization equipment, our highly skilled staff provide process and development services, and you are invited to rent detached laboratory area where you could place your own specialized equipment, and simultaneously gain access to our full range of highly competitive processes and services.

A joint venture between KTH and Acreo

The Electrum Laboratory is owned by KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) – the leading technical university in Sweden.

The Laboratory is operated by KTH in colaboration with Acreo – the leading Swedish research institute in microelectronics and optics. KTH is represented by  IMIT (Department of Microelectronics and Information Technology) and S3 (Departments of Signals Sensors and Systems).

Users

Other users of the Electrum Laboratory are companies active in the field of semiconductor technology, e.g., FLIR Systems AB, Silex Microsystems AB, Advanced Microwave Device Solutins AB (AMDS), Comlase NT AB, Phoxtal Communications AB, and Replisaurus Technologies AB, as well and academic groups from KTH departments and other Swedish universities. The Electrum laboratory also collaborates with the process laboratories at Uppsala University and Chalmers..
