The division is located at KTH's main camus at Valhallavägen in Stockholm, Sweden, and it is headed by prof. Göran Stemme. Within the division there is a group of senior researchers with different specializations as well as a number of doctoral students.
Education
The division gives courses in the areas of Measurement technology and Microsystem technology.
Research
The major research field of the division is Micro- and Nanoelectromechanical Systems (MEMS/NEMS), where micro- and nanofabrication techniques and materials are adapted to the making of small, low-cost, high-performance electromechanical, optoelectromechanical, RF/microwave as well as micro- and nano-fluidic devices.
Lab facilities
We have several well-equipped in-house lab infrastructure, including:
- a polymer microsystems lab.
- an RF/THz lab.
- a photonics lab.
- a 3D nanostructuring lab (3D microprinting, laser machining).
- cell & microbiology facilities.
Much of the device fabrication takes place at the Electrum Lab and Albanova Nanofabrication Lab . The Electrum Lab comprises 1300m² of class-100 cleanroom area for fabrication and characterization of microelectronics, photonics and microsystem devices. The Electrum lab is situated at KTH's campus in Kista, North-west of the city. Through the my-fab network the division also have acces to the other major cleanrooom labs in Sweden.
We further work in other major infrastructures.
- Scilifelab (www.scilifelab.se), which is the national hub for molecular biosciences.
- MedTechLabs (www.medtechlabs.se), which is the regional interdisciplinary centre for medical technology research.
- Biomedicum (ki.se/en/about/biomedicum-a-laboratory-of-the-future), which is the experimental research centre of the Karolinska Institute.
