Welcome to the Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL) at MIT. MTL is an interdepartmental laboratory that supports Microsystems research encompassing work in circuits and systems, MEMS, electronic and photonic devices, and molecular and nanotechnology. Our research is enabled by a set of shared experimental facilities, as well as a vibrant industrial consortium. Annually, MTL supports the research of 550 students and staff who are sponsored by contracted research of more than $40M.

MTL welcomes Veeco Instruments to its Industrial Group The Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Veeco Instruments (Plainview, NY) have recently announced that Veeco Instruments has joined the Microsystems Industrial Group (MIG), an exclusive member industry consortium. 
MTL team wins SoE Infinite Mile Award The MTL operations team of Dan Adams, Ryan O'Keefe, and Tim Turner was given the Infinite Mile Award for Team Excellence from the MIT School of Engineering during the school's ninth annual awards ceremony on April 29, 2009. The team was cited by Personnel and Operations Administrator Debroah Hodges-Pabon for "[being] instrumental in supporting operational and educational goals of MTL and the Institute. They also provide additional help upon request with major MTL events." 
New
material could lead to faster chips New research findings
at MIT could lead to microchips that operate at much higher speeds
than is possible with today's standard silicon chips, leading to
cell phones and other communications systems that can transmit
data much faster.The key to the superfast chips is the use of a
material called graphene, a form of pure carbon that was first
identified in 2004. Researchers at other institutions have already
used the one-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms to make prototype
transistors and other simple devices, but the latest MIT results
could open up a range of new applications.
