11.3. National programmes and projects<br />

There is a national programme of centres of excellence and competence, which<br />

funds innovative research in many areas including nanotechnology.<br />

Centres of Excellence and Centres of Competence in <strong>Nanotech</strong>nology<br />

http://www.npk.gov.pl/centra_dosk/index_en.html & http://www.6pr.pl/coe/i.html These<br />

centres serve as a hub for teams of scientists with outstanding achievements who<br />

cooperate in the areas of common interest and of large significance for national<br />

economies. This role supports the innovative activity of the centre and boosts the<br />

promotion of research, technology and products at home and abroad<br />

Micro- and Nano-Technology Applied Research Centre<br />

Institute of Electron Technology (ITE)<br />

32/46 Lotników Al., 02-668 Warszawa, Poland<br />

(48-22) 548-78-80; (48-22) 548-78-82<br />

The MANTARC centre focuses on applied research in the field of integrated<br />

microelectronic, micromechanical and optoelectronic systems and devices. The<br />

Centre aims at becoming a national resource for applications of MEMS/MOEMS<br />

microtechnologies in order to meet scientific and technical challenges of the industry.<br />

The most important topics of the research and development activities include:<br />

• development of new electrical, photoelectrical and SEM/TEM methods<br />

• photodetectors including silicon avalanche photodiodes,<br />

• silicon sensors for physical and chemical quantities,<br />

• micro- and nano-probes for 3D surface analysis with scanning atomic force<br />

microscopy,<br />

• analogue and digital specialised integrated circuits and systems, including<br />

Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC's) and Systems on Chip (SoC),<br />

(48-22) 632-50-10; (48-22) 632-42-18<br />

The largest high-pressure research center in West and Central Europe combines<br />

basic research and applications. The main fields of research are solid state physics,<br />

materials science and biotechnology. Within the Center of Excellence project areas or<br />

research include<br />

• development of nitride-semiconductor blue- and UV-light emitters,<br />

• synthesis of nanocrystalline powders and sintering of nanocrystalline<br />

ceramics<br />

• development of high pressure equipment.<br />
