FWO granted the project Exploiting plasma etching processes for micro/nanotexturing of metal surfaces to enable novel chemical, analytical, optical, and medical applications.

The plasma metal etcher will be installed in the core facility MICROLAB. The project execution will be coordinated by Prof. Wim de Malsche (CHIS) with two ETRO-promoters Prof. Johan Stiens and Prof. Peter Schelkens. Step by step the microfabrication facilities are growing, allowing to dive deeper again in microfabrication related projects.
