The SMC vision has been to create a portfolio of microsystems products and manufacturing capabilities for applications ranging from consumer goods and optoelectronics, to life sciences and medicine. With the SMC hosting the Institute for Integrated Micro and Nanosyatems and a range of Companies the Centre covers the complete range of R&D activities ranging from blue skies reserch to product development. A key component of the SMC's Roadmap has been to integrate photonics, microfluidics, chemical sensing, new materials and micro-mechanical functionality with the processing power of IC electronics.
With the capability of processing wafers upto 200mm in diameter the SMC works closely with with both industry and academia and offers a range of Commercial Services. The SMC celebrated its 10th birthday in 2010 and information giving details of the background and the building of the cleanrooms over this period is avaliable.
SMC is now available
