RAPIDTOP - Rapid manufacturing technology for optic-integrated solutions, custom oriented, by developing and processing of nanomaterials.

Field of activity: Information and communication technology, New materials and technologies testing for nanostructures and integrated circuits at nano scale Materials, processes and innovative productions, MEMS - MicroElectro Mechanical Systems.

The RAPIDTOP project is developing nanomaterials for industrial needs for optic components with large applicability: LEDs with very thin focus, new generation LED displays, optical communication components, dual core processors optic connected, solutions for laser-on-chip components. Project primary advantage is the safety and the easiness in juggling with different materials, this way cold powder could by used for the first time, in industrial pilot lines for optic MEMS products.

The project objective is developing a flexible production pilot line with integrated quality control. The solution found it will be applied inclusively to lighting isolated houses, fact that will develop new industries. The project it addresses to the fields of technology, information and communications and the idea of such a project was born from industrial partners needs for integrated optical products with low cost.

Other RAPIDTOP project objectives are:

• use of nanotechnology in materials (polymers, nanostructures sol-gel and powders)

• cold pulverization technology development, deposition of very thin and conductive batches

• developing of the demonstrator as “the prove of the concept” and creation of production pilot line having a fabrication low cost and high productivity; these demonstrators with LED's with high level of efficiency will be delivered for usage in auto industry and lighting isolated houses
