IMEC Cleanroom - Heverlee

Description 

Thanks to this state-of-the-art laboratory, Leuven-based nanotechnology company imec, together with its global partners, is able to carry out further research into new technologies to make microchips even more powerful, more efficient, smaller, and more energy-efficient. The cleanroom is equipped with the latest gadgets and a ‘waffle table’, so that vibrations are not possible. This is important because nanotechnology requires extreme precision. In addition, the cleanroom cannot contain any dust particles. That’s why there’s constant air circulation.

 

Willemen Construct came into being on 1 July 2018 as a result of the merger between Willemen General Contractor and the construction department of Kumpen.
