Nanotechnology Research – Laboratories

Biomade Technology Foundation is a research institute whose mission is to develop and exploit molecular nanotechnologies.

Holst Centre is an independent centre for open innovation, which develops generic technologies and technology platforms for wireless autonomous transducer solutions and systems-in-foil.

AMOLF is one of five research institutes of the Dutch Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM). The current research at AMOLF focuses on three areas: Life science inspired physics, nanophysics and femtosecond dynamics of matter

The research projects concern especially the growth from sub-monolayers to several tens of monolayers and the formation of nanostructures. Moreover, this group supports other groups in the institute in producing thin films and sub-micron structures and conducts fundamental research in layer growth.

The objectives are the atomic scale synthesis, manipulation, and modification of surfaces and thin films with novel optical, electronic, and opto-electronic applications.

This joint AMOLF/Philips group focuses on two topics: 1) III-V semiconductor nanowires as building blocks for nanoscale optoelectronic devices. 2) Complex metallic structuctures for enhanced, polarized and directional emission of light sources coupled to surface plasmon polaritons and particle plasmons.

A world-class interdisciplinary place for applied research aiming at business creation in the field of microsystems and nanotechnologies, enabled by innovations in materials and processing methods, state-of-the-art cleanroom infrastructure and a full spectrum of characterization facilities.
