Description
Supply and installation of an automated wafer surface grinding system with ancillary equipment to enhance the University of Southampton's optical and semiconductor materials processing capabilities for a number of high-impact projects in the major engineering themes of Quantum Technologies and Photonics. This system will be integrated into existing lab facilities in the Optoelectronics Research Centre at the University of Southampton and will be used to expand the breadth of its manufacturing capabilities to stimulate new research ties across academia and industry via the EPSRC Quantum Hub initiative.
The acquisition of this system will enable university researchers to manufacture new combinations of micron-scale-thickness optical and semiconductor material layers to tackle fundamental research in quantum light-matter interactions, quantum sensors, and telecommunications.
