Centre for Technology Infusion

Centre Facilities

The National Networked TeleTest Facility for Integrated Systems (NNTTF)

The $15 million facility provides fabless companies and design houses with engineering, pre-production test and characterisation services. NNTTF is accessible through the web with leading edge capabilities addressing the most complex testing and IP validation challenges such as mixed-signal and high-end digital integrated circuit (IC) technologies as well as other emerging technologies.

The facility operates as a virtual centre spanning Australia and accessible Internationally it consists of the facility node at ECU in Perth and 5 remote nodes. Centre for Technology Infusion at La Trobe University is the NNTTF node in Victoria, Australia.

The Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication (MCN)

The Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication (MCN) is the Victorian node of the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF). MCN is a collaborative initiative between the Victorian State government and Commonwealth government, CSIRO and major Victorian Universities: Monash University, The University of Melbourne, Swinburne University, La Trobe University, Deakin University and RMIT University.

MCN's ultimate purpose is to fill the gap in Australia for open access, multi-scale, multi-disciplinary nanofabrication infrastructure. MCN's goal is to support and produce research and prototype advances in areas that include environmental sensors, medical diagnostics, micro and nano actuators, novel energy sources (e.g. solar cells) and novel bio-nanotechnology products like drug delivery devices.

The central MCN facility is based at a new, purpose-built facility, adjacent to the Australian Synchrotron. Approximately half of the central facility's research space consists of clean rooms (class 100 and 10,000) and the other half is occupied by biochemical laboratories.
