OpenFieldMyfab is the Swedish National Research Infrastructure for Micro and Nanofabrication, established and funded by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet). Operating three premier state-of-the-art cleanroom laboratories across Chalmers University of Technology (Nanofabrication Laboratory, Gothenburg), KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Electrum Laboratory, Stockholm), and Lund University (Lund Nano Lab), Myfab provides 5,400 square meters of class 10-10,000 cleanrooms. It serves as Sweden's technological bedrock for quantum computing, semiconductor physics, photonics, and MEMS.
Review checked academic pathways and funding options below:
Doctoral research position utilizing Myfab's electron-beam lithography (EBL) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) cleanrooms to fabricate superconducting transmon qubits and quantum circuits.
Two-year master's program providing direct hands-on cleanroom training in deep reactive ion etching (DRIE), wafer bonding, semiconductor metrology, and spintronic devices.
Two-year engineering master's program utilizing Chalmers' 1,240 m² ISO class 5 cleanroom to pioneer integrated photonic waveguides, laser diodes, and Josephson junction arrays.
Senior research fellowship developing scalable epitaxial growth of III-V semiconductor nanowires and van der Waals heterostructures for ultra-efficient photovoltaic and optoelectronic cells.
Comprehensive safety course covering chemical hazard handling (hydrofluoric acid, silane), cleanroom gowning protocols, plasma etch safety, and high-vacuum evacuation systems.
Four-month embedded industrial placement at leading Nordic microelectronics and quantum hardware firms, performing semiconductor yield analysis and mask fabrication.
Three-day intensive technical workshop mastering sub-10 nm electron-beam resist exposure, proximity effect correction algorithms, and dual-beam FIB-SEM nanomachining.
Doctoral researchers are full-time university employees earning approximately 32,500 to 36,000 SEK per month (0 SEK tuition, with complete Swedish medical, parental, and pension benefits). Academic research groups benefit from heavily subsidized cleanroom access rates through Swedish Research Council infrastructure grants.
