Dimes Technology Center a part of the Dimes Research School

The Dimes Technology Center (DTC) offers a very flexible processing line for integrated devices. Our standard bipolar processing line is suitable to make complete active devices from mask design to packaging.
Our special MEMS modules enables high level 3D structuring.
We also work with many non standard materials.
Our strength is to integrate all these technologies to on-chip and multi-
chip microsystems.
We are able to fabricate:
- MEMS devices
- Unique active devices
- Sensors
- Antennas
- Gas/Liquid injection systems
- Biomedical systems
- and many more

DimesTC is very flexible in tailoring its processes to your needs. We work closely with expert groups throughout the university and we have strong ties with relevant research groups and equipment manufacturers in the world. If you like to use our facilities for making microsystems, nanoelectronics or for microfabrication, please contact our Director: Dr. Carel van der Poel.

New Plasma Etchers for DTC
DTC bought a new DRIE etcher from SPTS: an Omegai2L Rapier.
This system will take the load of our existing DRIE etcher: the Adixen AMS100 that needs often repair and maintenance. In this way the equipment downtime will go down considerabaly. The purchase was done in close cooperation with the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience.

DTC also bought a refurbished LAM RIE etcher as a replacement for our Drytek Triode 384T etcher.

DTC bought a Primaxx uEtch HF vapor etcher from SPTS.
