SAL MicroFab

Welcome to SAL MicroFab — the largest and most advanced research cleanroom in Austria, where groundbreaking ideas in micro- and nanotechnology become real-world solutions. We accelerate innovations from lab to market, empowering industries such as automotive, healthcare, and communications through collaborative R&D and agile co-development. Innovation starts here.
Cleanroom Infrastructure & Capabilities
Located at the High-Tech Campus Villach, our 1,400 m² SAL MicroFab is purpose-built for research, prototyping, and small-scale production. Consisting of two cleanrooms, the SAL MicroFab is certified according to the ISO 14644:2015 standard. Our cleanroom area specializes in micro(opto)electromechanical systems (M(O)EMS) and next-generation wafer-level technologies, offering everything needed to go from concept, design to component.

Cleanroom I – Research & Prototyping
This cleanroom is designed for research and development of wafers up to 200 mm. Ideal for early-stage research and proof-of-concept development. We currently offer the following:
- Wet and dry etching
- Thin-film Deposition
- Lithography
- Rapid Thermal Processing
- Advanced metrology

Cleanroom II – Pilot Production & Technology Transfer
This cleanroom is currently in the ramp-up phase but has the goal to bridge the gap between research and scalable manufacturing, equipped for semi-automated batch processing, making it ideal for small series production, pilot lines and industry-ready innovation. We currently offer the following:
- Front-end and back-end fabrication
- M(O)EMS device prototyping
- RF filter production
- Integrated photonics
- Heterogeneous integration
- Advanced wafer-level packaging
