Where and who learns the secrets of "nano"

Development of modern micro-, nano- and functional electronics are reflected in the list of priority areas of fundamental and applied researches in Belarus for 2011-2015, approved by the Directive of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus № 585 dated 19.04.2010, which includes the following areas:

- New optical, fiber-optic and nonlinear optical components, materials and coatings, new materials for devices of functional micro-, opto-, nano- and microwave electronics.

- The scientific basis of the development and operation of optoelectronic microsystems, devices of molecular electronics and silicon photonics, electronic and optical information processing systems based on spin effects, nanotechnology, nanostructures and nanomaterials in electronics, optics and optoelectronics.

- Principles of schematic design and fabrication technology of integrated circuits  including three-dimensional ones, devices of functional and microwave electronics, optoelectronics, microelectromechanical systems, light-emitting and photosensitive devices, high-efficiency solar cells.

The above principle trends are realized within the National Research Programs "Nanotech", "Convergence", "Electronics and Optics", “Crystalline Materials”.
