The Southampton Nanofabrication Centre is a state-of-the-art facility for nanofabrication and characterisation, run by the Nano Research Group of the School of Electronics and Computer Science.

Housed in the new Mountbatten Complex at the University of Southampton, UK, the purpose-built cleanroom covers 820m2 and provides a flexible capability and a wide range of nano- and bio-nano technologies.

The facility is intended to be available for research, development and small-scale commercial projects through collaborative work and the placement of staff in the facility. Researchers will be encouraged to use the clean room for their research and to develop skills and techniques that allow them to innovate in imaginative new ways. Potential research collaborators are encouraged to contact one of the academic staff through the group research pages. Visitors with industrial or commercial interests should contact our commercial development office.
