INTRODUCTION:
The National Centre for Microelectronics (CNM: Centro Nacional de Microelectrónica), part of which is the Madrid Microelectronics Institute (IMM: Instituto de Microelectrónica de Madrid) was created through a scientific policy initiative, whose origin goes back to 1985, with the aim of facilitating the country's access to this technology and its development.The scientific and technological goals of the IMM were initially focused on microelectronic areas, both basic and applied, such as optoelectronic devices (laser diodes, radiation detectors, modulators..) and in the development of sensors and biosensors, mostly of the optical kind. From the initial goals, and the cumulative experience in advanced fabrication techniques - like Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) in which IMM has been pioneer in Spain, e-beam lithography, and the tools based on Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) for the fabrication, characterization and manipulation of nanostructures - the Institute activities have evolved in a natural fashion, and can be considered nowadays to be focused in the field of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. Within this activity, basic scientific research and new applications of nanostructures both metallic and bio-functional have been made compatible. In particular, in the last years there has been a strong impulse along the lines of the development of sensors and biosensors through the integration of the specific functions of the bio-molecules in MEMS and OPTOMEMS devices. |
