The Application Center for Microtechnology (AZM) at BESSY exists since 2001 in Berlin-Adlershof. The main objective of the BESSY - AZM is the development and provision of micro-engineered production technologies based on synchrotron radiation, LIGA and direct LIGA technology and related microtechnology manufacturing processes for industrial partners.

In addition to LIGA technology, BESSY - AZM develops new processes and procedures for the manufacture of micro-and nanostructures made of silicon, polymers and metals.

The AZM team can support the activities of our industrial partners in all phases of designing and implementing a micro structure process all the way from development of the design through production.

EMIL-NET stands for the development of microsystem technology for innovative food production (“Entwicklung von Mikrosystemtechnik für innovative Lebensmittelerzeugung“). EMiL is an association of predominantly Berlin and Brandenburg scientific institutions and enterprises. The regional research and development potential in microsystems is pooled and networked with that in food production and processing.

Areas of emphasis are:

• Quality management, proof, and assurance,
• Food Safety and Consumer Protection,
• Improvement of transport, storage and preparation techniques,
• Increased productivity in food production.
