CEMMNT Updates the UK MNT Metrology Road Map

The latest technology road map for UK micro and nano metrology is now available to download from the case studies section of the CEMMNT website. The document contains input from broad spectrum of metrology users, policy makers, instrument manufacturers and consultants from industry, academia and government.

The road map identifies future direction for nanometrology in the UK based on current gaps in technology, awareness, training and funding. Barriers to progress are identified together with recommendations on how these can be successfully overcome. This update summarises the progress made since the original roadmap for nanometrology was carried out in September 2004.
