Mission

AMO’s mission as a research oriented company is to efficiently close the gap between university research and industrial application. For this purpose AMO identifies those topics from basic research that seem particularly suitable for industrial implementation and demonstrates these in application-oriented technology. In joint projects and bilateral cooperation, research and development results

are transferred to industry for maintenance and creation of jobs. Thus nanotechnology is expected to provide considerable potential for application areas such as information technology, biotechnology and environmental technology. Headed by Prof. Max Lemme, AMO operates a state-of-the-art 400 m² cleanroom and offers a range of services from consulting to prototype development.

Crash Course on Silicon Nitride Integrated Photonics

Anna Lena Giesecke, head leader of AMO’s nanophotonics group, is one of the invited speakers of the one-day crash-course on silicon nitride (SiN) integrated photonics organized by ePIXfab in collaboration with PIX4life. The course will take place on November 14^th 2019 at Novotel Brussels Airport.
AMO launches three new FET Open Projects

FET Open is a very competitive funding program within the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation program. It supports joint international projects aimed at radically new technologies, favoring ideas that go well beyond the state of the art. The competition is fierce, as the program is open to all sciences and disciplines. At each call the number of submissions greatly exceeds the available budget. Yet AMO has been extremely successful in the call of January 2019, winning three granted projects.
Workshop announcement: "Wafer-scale Integration of 2D materials"

The next big challenge in the field of graphene and 2D materials is the development of large-scale fabrication processes compatible with CMOS technology. This challenge will be the topic of a workshop organized in Aachen by AMO GmbH and RWTH Aachen University, on November 12-13, 2019.
Graphene enables the world’s smallest accelerometer, pointing to a new era in wearable sensor technology
