Chalmers University of Technology, located in Göteborg, Sweden, is a leading European university of technology. The Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience - MC2 is doing research and education with focus on future electronics, photonics, bio- and nanosystems. MC2 houses a cleanroom for micro- and nanofabrication with the latest equipment. Our work is often done in close collaboration with Swedish and international partners within academy, industry and society. With a unique research competence we offer education on undergraduate and graduate level and within three international masters programmes. The Bio-, Electronics Materials and Packaging Group focuses on development of new materials and processes for bio and electronics applications. The major focus of the research is towards development of nanomaterials based technology. This includes nanoscaffolds for stem cell proliferation and differentiation, nano-thermal interface materials, nanocooling devices as well as nano lead free solders and adhesives for electronics cooling and interconnects applications. The final goal is to develop platforms for heterogeneous integration including biological cells as functional parts in future electronic systems.
