The IMT has a 300 m² class 5 clean room laboratory which is not only used by the technical staff, but also by all PhD students and Bachelor/Master students who are writing a thesis or have a HiWi job at the IMT. Everyone receives appropriate instruction and training on the process equipment in order to carry out experiments and produce microsystems independently.
The existing process equipment meets the highest requirements with regard to the current state of the art and a very high flexibility. The laboratories are permanently upgraded by new acquisitions that expand the IMT's manufacturing portfolio. The most recent example is a femtosecond laser system, which enables completely new ways of microstructuring and manufacturing.
