Short description:

The National Institute for Research and Development in Microtechnologies is a non-budgetary research unit supervised by the Ministry of Education and Research. The Institute of Microtechnology set up in 1993 by merging with the Research Institute for Electronic Components (ICCE). IMT-Bucharest is the only research unit in the country (and within a wide geographical area) focused on microtechnologies (micron technologies).

The mission of IMT-Bucharest consists in: -scientific research and technological -development in microtechnologies (microelectronics included), contribution to the development of the national strategy of the domain, major effort in the national programmes for scientific research and technological development, providing, with national and international support, scientific and technological services. The basic activities of IMT-Bucharest are:

•  Research and development;

•  Services in microtechnologies and in information and communication technologies (networks, web-sites, Internet, Intranet, Extranet);

•  Technological assistance for SMEs: consulting, design, technology transfer, training on the job;

•  Organizing scientific events (e.g. the International Semiconductor Conference CAS) and training courses;

•  Studies for industrial restructuring and modernization;

•  Strategies of development.

The field of activity of IMT-Bucharest comprises:

- Development of micro and nano fabrication technologies.

- Development of testing and microphysical characterization technologies (atomic force microscopy, scanning microscopy, ellipsometry, etc.) for microstructures and microsystems;

- Development of micro-and nanostructures and microsystems;

- Development of advanced architectures based on computational intelligence;

- Computer-aided design, simulation and testing of microstructures and microsystems.
