Tyndall National Institute

The Tyndall National Institute (Tyndall) was created in 2004 at the initiative of the Department of Enterprise Trade and Employment and University College Cork (UCC) to bring together complementary activities in photonics, electronics and networking research at the National Microelectronics Research Centre (NMRC), several UCC academic departments and Cork Institute of Technology (CIT).

The strengths of the institute at the present time lie in the area of photonics, electronics, materials and nanotechnologies and their applications for life sciences, communications, power electronics and other industries. Research programmes range from theoretical modelling and design to novel material, nanotechnology, device processing and fabrication, packaging and integration; and novel systems incorporating these new devices.

Nanotechnology Group Overview: The Group undertakes research aimed at development and innovative exploitation of nanoscale materials and devices within emerging Information and Communication Technology (ICT) application areas.

Since tremendous potential for development of new technologies currently exists at the interface between information technology and other disciplines, special emphasis is placed within the Group on the development of novel hybrid methods for materials processing and device fabrication.

For example, within the electronics theme, the Group is focused on development of "bottom-to-top" approaches to demonstration of nanoscale electronic functionality. Substantial use is made of combined methodologies, derived from microelectronics, chemistry and biology, for the rational assembly of nanostructures and devices that exhibit novel electrical or optical properties.

Also, within the photonics theme, research is directed at the development of new nano-enabled device concepts and fabrication strategies such as, for example, use of metal nanocrystals for biological sensing, nanostructuring of organic photonic materials and devices, and self-assembly based integration of optoelectronic components.

All activities are undertaken in compliance with Tyndall's ISO 9001:2000 certification
