The Integrated Clean Room for Micro and Nano fabrication (SBCNM) is a Large Scale Facility (ICTS) dedicated to the development and application of innovative technologies in the field of Nano and Microelectronics.
Since 2014, the ICTS-SBCNM is one of the three nodes of the MICRONANOFABS ICTS Network, the Large Scale Facility supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (MICINN), together with the Clean-Room from ISOM-UPM and the one from NTC-UPV.
The SBCNM is 1500 m2 large, class 100/10000 (ISO 5/7) (plus 4500 m2 for its services), has more than 150 high-tech instruments and is complemented with other 350 m2 of back-end and electrical characterisation laboratories. The SBCNM processing capability is of 2000 wafers per year.
You can use our production services to fully develop and/or fabricate your product or running single processes to test your own technologies and verify their quality.
The IMB-CNM Clean Room has its own quality control system. It is based on an application developed internally for the specificities of microfabrication and includes:
On top of that, product-specific quality standards have been established in the past for specific technologies under customer requests. In particular, we have the following technologies approved:
These approvals certify the validity of the devices for the specific applications, but also quality fabrication and test procedure standards.
In the main Clean Room of IMB-CNM are mainly processed silicon wafers of 100 mm, even though other wafers of different materials and sizes can be processed on demand. Processes available are PVD, LPCVD, PECVD, CVD, thermal oxidation, dry etching (RIE, DRIE), photolithography, wet chemical processes, ion implantation, metallization (sputtering, evaporation). You can find more information in the IMB-CNM (CSIC) web page or contacting us.
Shadow Masking Metallization
Selective deposition of thin (up to 10 microns) metal layers (Cu, Al, Ti, Ni, etc.) by evaporation or sputtering, using the shadow-masking technique («dry» process avoiding photolithography). Used, for example, for remetallization of Al pads in power devices, metallization of Al pads in transducers, definition of pads and tracks in ceramic substrates, metallization of piezoelectric substrates, etc.
Under Bump Metallization
We offer UBM technology based on electroless Ni/Au coating on Al pads. It is suitable for flip-chip connections with Sn/Ag bumps.
Techniques available are:
The main activities of this area are addressed towards:
Dicing silicon wafer and substrates of different materials using blades dicing with Semiautomatic machines or cleaving with a LatticeAx 420 Cleaving equipment.
Packaging of microelectronic devices by means of manual fine wire Wedge Bonder and manual heavy wire Wedge Bonder.
D+T Microelectrónica commercial activity is based on the research activity carried out at IMB-CNM, CSIC by its researchers (today almost 80) since 1990.
During the years, the technologies that reached succesfully the application goal and their fabrication repeatibility, became the starting points for the development of new ones and they are today the basis of our costum-made products and technologies development.
Have a look at what we do to be inspired developing your devices.
The laboratories are equipped with measurement and analysis technologies and set-up useful for physically and electrically characterization of devices and systems. You can hire our characterization and analysis services as part of your technology development or production order as well as independently, to test your own samples and verify their quality.

In the laboratories at IMB-CNM are available many instruments with the purpose of performing:
Advanced measurements based on optical methods (Infrared and thermoreflectance thermography, internal infrared lased defection) have been set-up for a precise electro-thermal characterization at chip or system level. Lock-in approach applied to infrared thermography allows the analysis of the reliability limits of advanced power systems and devices (high temperature, Wide Band Gap). Applications:
Instrumentation in the Clean-Room and anexed laboratories allow for:
Our Reverse Engineering Service experts have deep knowledge in semiconductor technology, fabrication processes and IC design, which combined with the acces to the high-end IMB-CNM’s Clean Room equipment, allows us to offer a wide range of in-chip analysis related services, including:
