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.

GreEnergy: setting a new paradigm for solar energy harvesting

AMO GmbH is partner of GreEnergy, a new project funded by the European Commission through the Horizon 2020 Programme, which aims at developing optical nano-antennas as cost-effective solar energy harvester for a greener future.
A scalable method for the large-area integration of 2D materials

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have a huge potential for providing devices with much smaller size and extended functionalities with respect to what can be achieved with today’s silicon technologies. But to exploit this potential we must be able to integrate 2D materials into semiconductor manufacturing lines – a notoriously difficult step. A team of researchers from Sweden and Germany now reports a new method to make this work.
NeuroSys succeeds in the first “Clusters4Future" ideas competition

The cluster “NeuroSys – Neuromorphic Hardware for Autonomous Artificial Intelligence Systems” will receive €45 million funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research to contribute to the technological independence of Germany and Europe in the field of artificial intelligence.
Pioneering 2D materials for semiconductor industry – the 2D-Experimental Pilot Line presents itself

On February 4, the 2D-Experimental Pilot Line (2D-EPL) will present itself to the public in a rich digital event with the title “Pioneering 2D materials for semiconductor industry”. Keynote speakers: Luigi Colombo (University of Texas) and Oliver Whear (Aixtron), followed by a panel discussion with Cedric Huyghebaert (IMEC), Max Lemme (RWTH Aachen University and AMO GmbH) and Sanna Arpiainen (VTT).
MISEL: a new EU-project for developing an intelligent camera-sensor technology

AMO GmbH is partner of MISEL (Multispectral Intelligent Vision System with Embedded Low-Power Neural Computing), a project that aims at developing a bio-inspired vision system able to implement advanced recognition tasks, but with much smaller size, weight and power consumption than off-the-shelf components.
