nanotimes News in Brief
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL), U.K., is a significant partner in one of the four new Tech- nology Strategy Board projects to use nanoscale technologies for the next generation of devices to harness the energy of the sun. The Techno- logy Strategy Board and Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) are investing a total of £5m in four collaborative projects that will address the challenges of building the supply chain and scaling up the technologies behind this new approach to solar energy harvesting.
NPL is involved in the ‚Scalable, low-cost orga- nic photovoltaic devices (SCALLOPS)‘ project led by Pilkington Technology Management Ltd. The other partners include: Imperial College London; University of Bath; Solvay Interox Ltd; RK Print- Coat Instruments Ltd; and Flexink Ltd. The NPL work will be co-funded from the National Measure- ment Office‘s Innovation R&D Programme. These projects will help to position British businesses to exploit the growing global demand for solar energy harvesting technologies while providing sustainable energy solutions for the UK.
Nanoscale technologies can enable new solar energy harvesting solutions through the generation of novel materials that can be deployed to deliver commercially attractive efficiencies at a low cost and a reasonable lifetime of service.

CEA-Leti and the Laboratory of Microelectronics Technologies (LTM) have signed a four-year part- nership agreement to focus on the development of new technologies in nanoelectronics.
Grenoble-based LTM is a public-research laborato- ry affiliated with the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and Grenoble University. Created in 1999, it has been conducting applied research in micro- and nanotechnologies with a primary focus on developing increasingly miniaturized microe- lectronics devices. The lab also is focused on de- veloping nano-imprint technologies and real-time scatterometry techniques as well as integration of nano-materials and colloids in beyond-CMOS devices.
Research projects, strategy, industrial partnerships in the Leti/LTM agreement include collaboration with industrial partners and suppliers. The strength of this cooperation between upstream and applied research in the field of nanoelectronics is unique in France and generates a strong added value to the existing programs.
LTM, Leti and their partners will share 200mm and 300 mm technological tools.
