European Strategy for Nanometrology: National Physical Laboratory

The current global measurement infrastructure is rapidly extending into the nanoscale and beyond, to bring nanotechnology based products or manufacturing processes successfully and safely into the marketplace.

It must provide the ability to measure in three dimensions with atomic resolution over large areas.

For industrial application this must also be achieved at a suitable speed/throughput.

European Nanometrology 2020 – provides a common strategy for European nanometrology so that future development can be built on current strengths.

The document contains the vision for European nanometrology; future goals and research needs, based on the status of science and technology in 2010.

It incorporates concepts for the acceleration of European nanometrology, in support of the effective commercial exploitation of emerging nanotechnologies.

European Nanometrology 2020 Adobe Acrobat PDF file produced by Co-Nanomet which co-ordinates a programme of activities addressing the need within Europe to develop the required measurement frame to successfully support the development and economic exploitation of nanotechnology.
