Description
The Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology, the largest faculty of Warsaw University of Technology has more than 300 academic teachers and more than 3400 full-time students. It carries on educational, scientific and research activities covering almost the whole spectrum of relevant specialities - from microelectronics and optoelectronics, biomedical engineering, through instrumentation, measurement, control and robotics, to computer engineering and networks, multimedia techniques and telecommunication. The Institute of Microelectronics and Optoelectronics (EWUT) is a part of the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology.
The EWUT activities include hybrid circuits (e.g. microwave, optoelectronic), sensors, laser optoelectronics, photonics, electronic imaging and image processing, VLSI systems, microelectronic and nanoelectronic semiconductor devices. The EWUT group possesses laboratories of silicon processing (clean room), hybrid technologies and assembly techniques, fibre optic and integrated optoelectronic devices fabrication, laser optoelectronics and characterisation of new electronic and photonic materials and manufacturing processes. With these facilities EWUT will contribute to the respective "Modelling and Design" and "Measurement and Instrumentation" service and technology providing centres of NEMO.
Currently the research of EWUT is focused on: characterisation of new active photonic materials (bulk waveguide and fibre); modelling of operation of active and passive photonic devices (especially integrated optic devices and structured optic devices); novel, temperature resistant, dielectric layers based on silicon carbide; MISFET with BN layers as dielectric. EWUT is therefore an excellent candidate to contribute to those long-term research activities of NEMO that focus on "Modelling and Design" and "Diamond and Semiconductor Infrared Micro-Optics".
The EWUT is also active in European student exchange programs, mainly in the framework of TEMPUS and ERASMUS/SOCRATES. EWUT will transfer its expertise to those activities of the network that focus on "education and training", on "dissemination of knowledge" and on "spreading of excellence". At the moment 15 students are working on their Ph.D. in optoelectronics, diamond and semiconductor materials.
The research activities of EWUT are supported by the grants form State Committee for Scientific Research (national) and also by the European projects like Inco Copernicus, Vilab Copernicus, ICOP-DEMO, Maria Curie Skłodowska, and NATO for peace. The EWUT involvement in these projects together with a growing number of personal contacts with foreign scientists lead us to formal agreements on international scientific cooperation and participation in a number of international scientific joint projects.
