Scientific Description
ISOM is a multi-departmental research institution devoted to graduate research and education in electrical engineering, which is affiliated to the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (UPM). The ISOM facilities include a 400 m2 cleanroom (100-1000 class), and 300 m2 of characterization and system development laboratories. The technology processes available at ISOM allow the fabrication and characterization of materials, their technological processing, and the fabrication of integrated electronic, optoelectronic, optic and magnetic devices. At present, ISOM has the capability to fabricate and develop laser and light emitting diodes for instrumentation, environment and optical communications; microwave transistors for high power and temperature applications; infrared photodetectors for civil and military applications; ultraviolet photodetectors for UV solar radiation monitoring and military applications; magnetic sensors for a wide range of applications, and SAW filters for RF and mobile communications.
