Electrum Laboratory

The Electrum Laboratory constitutes a world-class resource for education, research, development and small scale production for micro and nano fabrication. We offer a fully equipped cleanroom laboratory with complete process lines for device processing, and state-of-the-art laboratories for advanced materials and device characterization. We also offer access to sophisticated software for device simulation and design.

The Electrum Laboratory is an open environment providing a meeting place for companies and researchers from different disciplines with activities ranging form speculative science to device prototypes and pilot production. The Laboratory is extensively used by graduate students and also offers unique laboratory training for undergraduate students.

The Electrum Laboratory is operated by KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) in collaboration with Acreo - the leading Swedish research institute in microelectronics and optics.

Major users of the Laboratory are the KTH Departments of Microelectronics and Information Technology and of Signals, Sensors and Systems. Other customers are companies active in the field of semiconductor and microfabrication technology, and academic groups from KTH and other Swedish universities. The Electrum Laboratory also collaborates with the process laboratories at Uppsala University and Chalmers within the µ-fab network.
