On behalf of the Impactech team we would like to invite you to join us for: ‘Photonics and Electronics Fabrication’. This event will focus on the latest state-of-the-art research enabling innovative solutions to some of the world most challenging problems. The event will highlight three main areas: remote sensing, challenges in harsh environments, and applications, looking particularly at maximizing the potential of technology solutions. 
The ability to collect data remotely and transmit signals within harsh environments such as space, the ocean-floor, and the human body, has already encouraged engineers and scientists to identify new material platforms that can survive and safely operate in contexts of high radiation, pressure, temperature, high shock and chemical corrosion for extended periods.  
Many applications need highly robust electronics designed to operate in harsh environments which affect product specifications and requirements. As a result, new materials development, advanced process technology, sensor development, electronic devices, energy harvesting, manufacturing, packaging, system integration methodologies and compelling demonstrations of devices that operate well beyond the operation regimes of silicon have been examined using wide bandgap semiconductor materials.

The University of Southampton Cleanroom Centre is a state-of-the-art facility for high-spec nanofabrication and photonics, as well as a wide range of characterisation capabilities in the UK. The Centre, which is one of the premiere cleanrooms in Europe, has a uniquely broad range of technologies, combining traditional and novel top down fabrication with state-of-the-art bottom up fabrication. This allows us to develop and produce a wide range of devices in diverse fields such as electronics, nanotechnology and bio-nanotechnology and incorporate them into an equally comprehensive array of nano and microsystems for analysis and use. It provides a consultancy service for commercial clients and serves the research community at the University of Southampton and other regional institutions.  
This event offers technical presentations from academic and industrial experts and will be a great opportunity for you to meet and engage with a range of experts in this exciting and rapidly developing field. The event will also host the NMI Tabletop Exhibition, which will allow you to meet cleanroom suppliers face to face to discuss the services they offer.   
Don’t forget to sign up for our Cleanroom tour which will enable you to have a closer look into our facilities and the services we provide at our Southampton Nanofabrication Centre. During the walkthrough, we talk about the different areas of the Cleanroom, what we do in each area, and our individual capabilities. It is a very useful tour for anyone who would be interested to have an overview on Cleanroom fabrication concepts and what we do and provide in particular through our Centre.
