Established 1999 in Finland, Genano Ltd designs, manufactures and markets air cleaning equipment and solutions.

Genano’s products are based on patent-protected, multifunction-ion (MFI®) technology. 27 years of research led to the design of a method to remove the full range of particles from air including the smallest, ultrafine particles (UFP). Genano uses this technology to create a healthy indoor environment.

Notably, Genano products were also designed to require little or no maintenance.

A growing network of distributors has been established to market ultrapure air cleaning in Finland and internationally.

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD)is used to fabricate ultrathin and conformal thin film structures for many semiconductor and thin film device applications. ALD uses sequential self-limiting surface reactions to achieve control of film growth in the monolayer or sub-monolayer thickness regime. ALD is receiving attention for its potential applications in advanced high-k gate oxides, capacitor dielectrics and copper diffusion barriers in advanced electronic devices. It is also of interest in any advanced application that benefits from control of film structure in the nanometer or sub-nanometer scale.

Long description

Our mission is to develop innovative, enabling technologies, and by working closely with industry use these new possibilities in practical and commercial applications and systems.

Our expert areas of applications include sensors based on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), optical and wireless sensors, wireless communications and photonics systems, biosensors and fluidistics, nano and quantum devices, and millimeter wave and optical instruments for space applications.

Micronova's modern facilities, completed in 2002, include 2600 m2 of cleanrooms and processing lines for silicon BiCMOS, MEMS, III-V optoelectronics and thin film devices. In addition, Micronova houses extensive laboratories for electrical and optical measurements and various types of materials characterisation.

Nearly 300 researcher work at Micronova from VTT, TKK, and from several companies. Micronova contains all parts of the micro-nano innovation chain, from developing basic research and technologies to prototype development, and small scale manufacturing. Most of our R&D is done in close cooperation with our partners at universities, research institutes and companies both in and outside Finland. Our services and facilities are flexibly available to users from outside the centre.

Furthermore, teaching is an integral and important part of Micronova's activities. Courses in micro- technology, nanotechnology and photonics are offered for both undergraduate and graduate students.

Micronova is located in the Otaniemi Technology Park in the City of Espoo, Finland. With over 5000 researchers, Otaniemi is one of the leading Technology Parks in Europe, and the home of the two leading technical research and education organisations in Finland, VTT and TKK. In addition, several other research centres and 170 high-tech companies are located in Otaniemi.
