Microtechnology
The Microtechnology thrust area conducts activities for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) missions of global security, global ecology, and bioscience. Their efforts are associated with devices, instruments, or systems that require microfabricated components, including micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), electronics, photonics, microstructures, and microactuators. All of their microtechnology work revolves around their microfabrication facility. In all work, they have close collaborations with the various LLNL programs, ensuring that they select those areas for their attention that offer the greatest leverage to LLNL. Their work is driven principally by the applications of their internal programs, and, to a lesser extent, by external applications. For both of these they must have interdisciplinary teams to deliver complete solutions to the problems. The result successes in analytical instrumentation reflect their broad, interdisciplinary base and the cross-fertilization that results from all of the personnel sharing their capabilities and ideas with each other.
