About
Lund Nano Lab (LNL) is our world-class clean room laboratory. It is an open nanofabrication facility that is available to both academic research groups, start-up and company users. LNL provides state-of-the-art semiconductor processing and metrology equipment and expertise in the fabrication and characterization of nanostructures used in basic and applied research.
Who can get access?
We welcome all users to access the equipment for fundamental research and development in the fields of materials science, nanotechnology, microelectronics, life sciences, and quantum technology. Many LNL users come from academic research groups, mainly Lund University and other Swedish universities, but the lab is also open to industry users and is currently the main nanofabrication facility for several start-up companies.
LNL is staffed with metrology, equipment and process experts who are available to train and guide you. LNL is a member of Myfab, the Swedish Research Infrastructure for Micro and Nano Fabrication. Accredited academic research and company users can get 24/7 access to the laboratory. For how to obtain access and accreditation, see our page on access.
What is done in the lab?
Lund Nano Lab is the main resource for nano- and microfabrication at Lund University and provides support to research groups in strategically important areas of research such as:
• Compound semiconductor growth and material science
• Electrification, energy saving and clean energy
• Exploratory nanotechnology
• Industrial product development and prototype testing
• Life science and precision medicine
• Nanoelectronic devices and circuits
• Quantum technology and quantum physics
We also educate students enrolled at Lund University and participate in outreach activities for the local community and society.
What kind of equipment is found here?
More than 80 different tools for cutting edge nano- and micro-fabrication and analysis are installed in class ISO 5 -7 cleanroom areas. These are available to all lab users after appropriate hands-on training by the lab staff.
We provide equipment for metrology and characterisation, lithography, thin films, etching, compound semiconductor growth, thermal and chemical processing. The lab is a centre of excellence for epitaxial growth of III-V materials.
