Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL)

The core mission of Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL) has always been to foster interdisciplinary research and education as well as strong industrial relation in microsystems and technology. MTL has maintained a wide footprint of research that encompasses broad areas of disciplines. They include nanoscale technology and materials as well as nano and microscale devices and systems. MTL’s research portfolio includes a diverse array of novel devices including electronic, magnetic, field emitter, thermal, fluidic, superconducting and quantum devices, as well as integrated circuits and systems, machine learning and neuromorphic computing, biological and medical devices and systems, photonics, and energy.

Since MTL’s research has been at the forefront of technology, an advanced, flexible fabrication facility has always been a central element of MTL. The ultramodern MIT.nano facility was completed in 2018, replacing the aging facility at MTL. The availability of such an advanced, grand-scale fabrication facility is dramatically improving not only MTL’s position in cutting-edge research but also that of the entire MIT community.
