The European Research Council (ERC) awarded an Advanced Grant to Prof. Dr. Dieter Weiss for his project “ProMotion” (Probing Majorana quasi-particles and ballistic spin-momentum locking in topolocical insulator nanostructures). ERC grants are Europe’s most prestigious form of research funding and provide very substantial funding, in this case 2.5 Mio. Euro for 5 years.

Today our new ISO 7 cleanroom has been opened officially. The 320 m² cleanroom features 3 scanning electron microscopes with Nanonic pattern generators for e-beam lithography, focused ion beam, mask aligner for photolithography, electron beam and thermal evaporators for metal deposition, reactive ion etching (RIE) and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), chemically assisted ion beam etching (CAIBE) and atomic layer deposition (ALD). A movie giving impressions from the new cleanroom is here.
