About NT&D
NT&D – Nanotechnology and Devices is a deep-tech company focused on nanotechnology, advanced materials, micro- and nanoscale fabrication and device-oriented innovation. Established in 2006, the company builds on more than 30 years of expert experience in nanotechnology and combines this background with practical implementation know-how for complex high-tech challenges at the interface of science, engineering and application-oriented development.
Company profile
At the core of NT&D is the connection between scientific insight, advanced fabrication technologies and practical device realization. The company supports projects where nanoscale materials, process technologies, functional structures and application requirements need to be brought together in a technically realistic and implementation-oriented way.
Activities include technical consulting, R&D, prototyping and technology transfer for research-driven companies, institutions and innovation teams. The focus is on helping advanced concepts move from scientific or technical potential toward realistic development routes, functional demonstrators, device-oriented solutions and application-ready technology concepts.
The company works across interdisciplinary fields where nanotechnology enables new or improved functionality. These include micro- and nanoelectronics, optics and photonics, biotechnology and medical technology, MEMS and NEMS, graphene and 2D materials, molecular-scale concepts, metamaterials, advanced materials and process technologies.
A central strength is the ability to consider materials, surfaces, micro- and nanoscale structures, process flows and device concepts together. This integrated view is essential for complex projects where performance, fabrication feasibility, reproducibility and application relevance are closely linked.
Background and experience
The expertise behind NT&D covers nanolithography, nanoimprint lithography, micro- and nanofabrication, device processing, advanced materials and application-oriented R&D. This background provides a strong foundation for projects requiring high-resolution structuring, process design, prototype realization, device integration and characterization-oriented development.
Experience has been built across areas such as the transition from microelectronics toward nanoelectronics, nanophotonic and integrated optical concepts, nanosensor technologies, micro- and nanofluidic systems, bio-electronic approaches, polymer electronics and high-frequency device concepts. These activities reflect a broad technical foundation across materials, fabrication processes, structures and devices.
Advanced cleanroom, nanofabrication and laboratory environments are accessed through established infrastructure networks and collaborations. This enables demanding fabrication and evaluation tasks to be addressed under professional conditions, from small samples and experimental layouts to wafer-scale processing on substrates up to 200 mm where required by the technical route.
This combination of expert experience, developed know-how and infrastructure access allows projects to be supported at different stages of maturity. Depending on the goal, this may include feasibility assessment, process development, functional sample realization, complete device fabrication, prototype evaluation, process transfer, training, pilot-line preparation or technology transfer toward industrial and collaborative environments.
How NT&D works
Advanced technology projects often involve several interdependent factors. Materials, interfaces, fabrication routes, structural dimensions, device architectures, characterization methods and application requirements all influence whether a concept can become a functional and reliable solution.
The working approach is based on clarifying these relationships and translating them into realistic technical routes. This may involve assessing feasibility, defining process options, identifying development risks, realizing physical prototypes, evaluating device-oriented concepts or preparing technologies for transfer into further R&D, pilot-line environments, collaboration projects or application-oriented implementation.
Projects can start at different stages of maturity. Some begin with an early scientific concept, material property or process idea that requires technical evaluation. Others involve existing prototypes, process results or research outcomes that need refinement, integration, scaling, partner preparation or transfer toward practical use.
The goal is to provide technically grounded support that helps advanced concepts move forward with clarity and credibility. By combining long-standing nanotechnology expertise with practical process and device knowledge, NT&D offers specialized competence, realistic development routes and a clear path from concept toward implementation.
