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.

AMO is a new member of the Zuse Community

The Zuse community continues growing. The Association of Non-Profit Industrial Research Institutes has affiliated as its 74^th member the Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mikro- und Optoelektronik GmbH (AMO) from Aachen. AMO is active in the research and development of new technologies such as nano- and optoelectronics. During the membership ceremony that took place yesterday in Aachen, the participants were all very pleased with the development.
An intensive two-day workshop on 2D materials at Forum M

Experts from all over Europe gathered in Aachen to discuss the challenges of wafer-scale integration of 2D materials, in a workshop organized by AMO and the Aachen Graphene & 2D Materials Center.
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.
Graphene enables the world’s smallest accelerometer, pointing to a new era in wearable sensor technology

In what could be a breakthrough for body sensor and navigation technologies, AMO and a team of Swedish scientists have developed the smallest accelerometer yet reported, exploiting the unique mechanical and conducting properties of graphene.
