IIT (The Indian Institute of Technology), Guwahati has set-up higher-level microelectronics and nano power amenities at its Centre for Nanotechnology.
Aim of the initiative:
The centre took the initiative in order to meet the future challenges and to accelerate academic partnerships with industry in nanotechnology. This will as a consequence bring out multidisciplinary translational research in the fields of healthcare, nano biomaterials, micro and nano electronics, nano-energy devices and sensors.
The officials said that the centre has been working with the topic since the year 2000 and has argued reports in a number of areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
About the inauguration at IIT: Guwahati
The facility was inaugurated by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and the development of the project was funded by the revenue which was created by the prevailing work on nanotechnology.
TG Sitharam, Director, IIT Guwahati said, “This centre has established state-of-the-art amenities for nanofabrication, with class 100 cleanroom amenities being one of many main attraction, and is poised to make main contributions within the areas of nanodevices growth for healthcare, renewable energy-photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, thin-film transistors, sensors, and different allied areas.”
“The faculty and scholars at this centre have demonstrated translational research capability resulting in several technology transfers and establishing few centres for excellence as well,” he added.
Further, the project is expected to host as many as 25 state-of-the-art laboratories which are also expected to deal with developments in disciplinary, scientific and translational analysis and is provided with cleanroom amenities built-in with state-of-art fabrication, characterisation, and testing laboratories.
