ALBANY COMPLEX
The CATN2 is housed at the Albany NanoTech Complex, a 1.65 million-square-foot megaplex with the only fully-integrated, 300mm computer chip pilot prototyping and demonstration lines within 135,000 square feet of Class 1 capable cleanrooms. Unmatched nanotechnology-centered educational resources and capabilities provide the foundation for New York’s burgeoning Tech Valley.
​
Albany Nanotech Complex is a fully-integrated research, development, prototyping, and educational facility that provides strategic support through outreach, technology acceleration, business incubation, pilot prototyping, and test-based integration support for onsite corporate partners including IBM, GlobalFoundries, Samsung, Applied Materials, Tokyo Electron, ASML and Lam Research, as well as other “next-generation” nanotechnology research activities.
TAP FACILITY
The CATN2 serves as a gateway to the various services that are provided at the AIM Photonics’ TAP facility, the world’s first open 300mm state-of-the-art advanced ecosystem for integrated silicon photonics test, assembly, and packaging. Services include development and production process capability in key areas including wafer scale, chip scale and I/O attach and state-of-the-art Test and Metrology capabilities for each of these key functional areas.
​
The state-of-the-art TAP facility is located in Rochester, NY, the world's capitol for Optics Photonics and Imaging (OPI). The Facility will have brand new strategically designed tool set and analytical lab for advancing next generation PIC technology. Being centrally located in the OPI capitol also provides partners access to a well-established photonics supply chain.
