The Microsystems Engineering Centre (MISEC) was established in 1999 at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland and has been directed since then by Prof. Marc Desmulliez.
This Centre regroups 6 academic members of staff and over 25 Ph.D. students and Researchers, specialized in all aspects of MEMS design, manufacturing, packaging and testing. Current research interests include the post-CMOS processing of electronic die, advanced 3D manufacturing technologies and microfluidic systems for life science applications.
MISEC has extensive clean-room facilities in UV-LIGA processing, LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) processing, laser assisted assembly and processing, rapid prototyping of microlfuidic chips and advanced packaging of MEMS.
MISEC has also expertise in a number of exciting areas in the optoelectronics, microwave and photonics fields, which involve the integration of optics and electronics ranging from device work to system demonstration.
Recently, a multi-million pounds project called SMART MICROSYSTEMS funded by the IeMRC has been funded to study how new and agile manufacturing technologies could be used to post process CMOS and SIC integrated circuit in order to achieved enhanced functionalities of the microelectronic chips. The project, under the aegies of the Institute of Integrated Systems has the University of Edinburgh IMNS as partners and involves also over 10 companies.
