The International Iberian Summary: Nanotechnology Laboratory, a recently formed international research organization, is a joint research facility created by the Spanish and Portuguese governments to foster Nanotechnology and Nanosciences. INL is located in Braga, North of Portugal and it expects to achieve a research community of around 400 people at full operation.
• Central Micro and Nanofabrication Clean Room: (Class 100 and 1000 ) with a 400m2 useful area, with an expansion capability to 600 m2. The gross clean room area (bay and chase) is around 1100 m2. The nanolithography area is specially designed to VC-E vibration specifications to accommodate two e-beam tools (10nm or better feature resolution). The optical lithography bay will include a direct write laser tool and mask aligners.
Activity Areas - Nanomedecine; drug delivery systems, molecular diagnosis systems, cell therapy and tissue engineering.
• Specialized labs with VC-E or better vibration specifications and particular EMI shielding requirements: Including imaging and
