IPU Micro- and Nanosystems

IPU offers consultancy assistance, optimisation and development within the fields of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), Micro- and Nano-Technologies (MNT), Microfluidics and Biomedical Microsystems:

The variety of tasks to which IPU Micro- and Nanosystems can contribute with valuable consultancy is as large as the cross disciplinarity of this area indicates.

Are you about to explore new technologies for your existing product or are you already into NEMS, MEMS or Microfluidics, but need new input in order to broaden your product portfolio? Or do you aim at improving your existing product regarding performance, price or applicability? Did you run into problems due to unexpected corrosion in your metal stack or are there some physical threads hidden in your process sequence that results in strong variations in your outgoing control results?

Our consultancy support covers aspects of studying the potential of entering Micro- and Nanotechnology as well as developing your application specific MEMS or microfluidic component. We assist you in design- and processflow review, idea generation, prototyping and project management towards trouble shooting and research based insight into the physics of the challenges you meet during development and production of your product.

IPU can support your R&D with first class scientific fundamental expertise and/or can guide you from the idea phase towards the design and development of your applied microfluidic or MEMS device. Beyond the development of the component IPU can assist you in its integration with electronics/fluidics to larger systems or units setting focus on man-machine-interface and environmental product lifecycle issues.
