Research

The CRF provides technology and know-how for the fabrication of a broad range of nano- and microtechnological as well was microfluidic devices  for a multitude of applications. Glass-based microfluidic chips, SU-8 based molds for silicone (PDMS) casting and stamps for nano imprint lithography are fabricated in our facility. Moreover, entire CMOS wafers and single chips are post-processed and customized for specific applications, e.g., high-density microelectrode arrays. The latter are used for extracellular recording from electrogenic cells, such as neurons or heart cells.
