Nanotechnology Now

NoE Patent-DfMM

The "Design for Micro & Nano Manufacture (Patent-DfMM)" Network of Excellence aims to establish a new technical community that will address the underlying engineering science to ensure that problems affecting the manufacture and reliability of products based on MNT can be addressed before prototype and pre-production.

The work will involve teams from the fields of packaging, test engineering, reliability engineering, simulation and modelling. Although the network will take an interest in all MNT fields, there will be a specific focus on MNT based products:

* That are deployed in harsh or demanding environments,
* Where reliability or dependability must be fully validated, or
* Where "right first time" manufacture is critical to meet cost and time-to-market constraints.
