NanoKTN’s support facilitates research collaboration between the University of Southampton and Oxford instruments

Article Type: Industry news From: Microelectronics International, Volume 29, Issue 1

The Nanotechnology Knowledge Transfer Network (NanoKTN), one of the UK’s primary knowledge-based networks for Micro and Nanotechnologies, is pleased to announce the ongoing success of a collaboration between one its members Oxford Instruments and the University of Southampton. The partnership, which is creating the cutting-edge nanotechnology needed for smaller, low power devices, has enabled the UK-based company to develop its processes and improve capabilities, providing a vehicle to drive forward further commercialisation of the business.

Oxford Instruments provides high technology tools and systems for industrial and research markets. This involves a combination of core technologies in areas such as advanced growth, deposition and etching, low temperature and high magnetic field environments, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, and X-ray electron and optical-based metrology. The company has formed a partnership with the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) at the University of Southampton to expand its research capabilities and increase the processes it is able to offer to customers.

The NanoKTN is dedicated to facilitating the transfer of knowledge within industry and has helped many organisations strengthen business and generate connections. Oxford Instruments has worked with the NanoKTN since it was established and has attended many of the NanoKTN’s events, using them as a key networking tool to generate sales leads.
