Clean Room Infrastructure for Biomedical Device Fabrication
Principal Investigator
Prof. Tuhin Subhra Santra
Objective
- With the proposed clean room facility, we will be able to take our designs from paper to prototype fully in-house, fabricating masks, patterning microchannels, integrating electrodes with submicron precision, and training for semiconductor silicon microfabrication
Description
- Specializing in lithography-based fabrication of lab-on-a-chip devices combining microfluidics, biosensing, and surface engineering, this IIT Madras initiative establishes a dedicated cleanroom facility to take designs from paper to prototype fully in-house ? fabricating masks, patterning microchannels, and integrating electrodes with submicron precision. By hosting interdisciplinary collaborations across bioengineers, material scientists, and electrical engineers, and offering fabrication services to hospitals, startups, and research institutes, the centre advances semiconductor self-reliance and positions IIT Madras as a dual hub for healthcare and electronics manufacturing innovation.
Impact
- It will host interdisciplinary collaborations connecting bioengineers, material scientists, and electrical engineers, The centre can offer fabrication services to hospitals, research institutes, and start-ups while also providing training to industry professionals, Over time, it can contribute to India's semiconductor self-reliance while simultaneously advancing medical technology innovation, making IIT Madras a dual hub for excellence in healthcare and electronics manufacturing
