We are certified according to
ISO 14001, ISO 9001 and ISO 45001.

Both Norwegian and international industry use SINTEF MiNaLab for production of key components.

Prototyping service for silicon detectors

Our expertise

Radiation sensors

SINTEF MiNaLab offers research, design and production of advanced silicon radiation sensors from single and double sided strip sensors, pixel sensors to silicon drift diodes. The group is a leading supplier for industrial and scientific applications.

MEMS

MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System) based sensors, e.g. pressure sensors and accelerometers, are small, lightweight, cost efficient and suitable for high volume production.

Piezoelectric Microsystems

Piezoelectric Microsystems or piezoMEMS is an important technology platform with a multitude of possible applications

Medical Sensors and BioMEMS

Microsystems for medical, biological, and environmental applications with focus on microfluidic technologies, biosensors, and sensors for in vivo measurements.

Optical MEMS

Micro-opto-electromechanical systems (MOEMS or optical MEMS), are systems with structures in the micro- to millimeter range whose purposes are to manipulate light. Today's MOEMS devices include waveguides, moving mirrors and diffractive gratings.
