Bert Offrein // IBM Research Europe
»AMO GmbH and IBM Research Europe have been closely collaborating in several projects co-funded by the European Union, including the development of energy efficient, yet powerful neuromorophic computing technologies. Their cleanroom infrastructure and the scope and expertise of the AMO team are an ideal basis for maturing new technologies from research and development to commercial exploitation.«
Gabi Grützner // micro resist technology GmbH
»Innovative, future-oriented research needs scientific cooperation – especially with regard to the increasingly complex tasks in micro- and nanofabrication. As SME with a focus on the development of novel materials for nanolithography and alternative manufacturing processes, we are very impressed by the outstanding and diverse research competencies of our long-term partner AMO, and always happy to find new opportunities of collaborations. It is through those professional partnerships that the competences of each partner get at best established in the overall technological context and turn into a benefit for the costumers – a great asset for the success of Europe as a location for innovation.«
Stephan Pindl // Infineon Technologies AG
»Graphene and 2D materials have the potential to revolutionize the microelectronics industry, but the journey from lab-to-fab is only just beginning. AMO has both the capabilities and the mind-set to develop a new material to a technological maturity level of interest to industry, and this is why we are collaborating on a project for the integration of graphene on industrial scale.«
Jörg Stodolka // RAITH GmbH
»The long-term cooperation between Raith and AMO started with AMO’s acquisition of a Raith electron beam nanolithography system – an essential tool for fabricating structures with nano-scale dimensions. Until today, AMO is providing calibration samples for Raith, which is also using AMO’s laboratory infrastructure for demonstrating the lithography system in a professional environment to potential new customers. For many years, AMO has been a reliable and competent partner, whose expertise in application-related problems represents a major resource.«
Michael Nagel // Protemics GmbH
»AMO GmbH has contributed decisively to the emergence of Protemics GmbH by supporting and accompanying the transfer of research results into a sustainable business model. AMO’s continuous drive in setting new challenges in research applications is still an important motivator for us to develop novel analysis technologies.«
Rainer F. Mahrt // IBM Research, Zurich
»Having collaborated with AMO GmbH in various EU funded projects over the last two decades, on topics that range from nano-photonics to all-optical logic, I’m delighted to express my sincere appreciation to the whole AMO team. Their expertise in cleanroom fabrication and their flexibility in fabricating unusual device-structures at the edge of the fabrication limit allow for outstanding research results, as well as for technological developments ready for commercial applications. On top of this, I would like to mention their continuous drive to push the limits of the fabricated structures, as well as their commitment to deliver within the agreed time.«
Jürgen Martini // AMOtronics
»The technical competence built up over many years in the Department for Electronics Development and Measurement Technology at AMO, and the practical experience gained in managing it have led to the spin-off of AMOtronics back in 2010. The international product-oriented focus of AMOtronics has proven to be a successful business-model. We keep enjoying the good and friendly cooperation with AMO and the numerous joint projects, which always bring new challenges.«
Antonio Correia // Phantoms Foundation
»Phantoms Foundation is a professional conference organiser focused on nanoscience and nanotechnology and has a long successful cooperation history with AMO. We have been co-organizing Graphene 2022 in Aachen – Europe’s largest conference on graphene and 2D materials. After two years of on-line events, this was a real great experience for everyone – also thank to AMO’s support as local organizer. I look forward to future events organized together.«
Dr. Christian Moormann // Abbott Automation Solutions GmbH
“It is with great pleasure that I congratulate AMO GmbH on its 30th anniversary! Today, the company is more vibrant than ever. It is impressive to see that the research topics still build on the foundations of the early years. At the same time, AMO has evolved by building on deep-rooted expertise to explore new innovative topics. AMO is agile and cosmopolitan and, in collaboration with its partners, delivers outstanding scientific contributions to the future fields of tomorrow. A true success story.”
Prof. Surendra Anantharaman // Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, India
“I had a short but very intense stint at AMO. It is a bittersweet moment that I’ve to leave AMO just after a few months, but the opportunity at IIT Madras was something I could not
refuse. At AMO, I found a young and dynamic international team; it was a great experience for me to be there. The good news is that IIT Madras and RWTH Aachen University have
a long-standing strategic partnership that we intend to utilize for future collaborations.”
