Schaefer will participate as sponsor at the CNR-IMM 2026 Congress “BRIDGE – Boosting Research and Innovation for a Digital and Green Economy”, taking place on February 18–19, 2026 at the Department of Physics, University of Catania.

The event, organized by CNR-IMM (Institute for Microelectronics and Microsystems of the Italian National Research Council), represents a key opportunity for discussion between research and industry in the fields of advanced materials, micro and nanoelectronics, sustainable energy, quantum technologies, and high-performance devices.

Technologies for Advanced Materials, Microelectronics and Sustainable Energy

The scientific program addresses major topics such as:

  • 2D and layered materials

  • Wide band gap semiconductors

  • Advanced characterization methods

  • Technologies for energy, sensing, and life science

  • Innovative devices for computing and quantum technologies

  • Large-area and high-power electronics

In this context, Schaefer offers a comprehensive portfolio of solutions for deposition, surface analysis, and advanced materials characterization, supporting research laboratories, universities, and high-tech industries.

Our technological offer

UHV Systems for Research and Deposition – PREVAC

We are highlighting the Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) systems by PREVAC, ideal for:

  • Thin film growth and deposition

  • Research on 2D materials and advanced semiconductors

  • Surface analysis under controlled environments

  • Integration with in-situ characterization techniques

PREVAC solutions ensure modularity, high stability, and full customization, meeting the demanding requirements of micro- and nano-electronics research.


Compact and High-Performance Tabletop SEM – NANOS by Semplor

At the congress, we are also showcasing NANOS, the tabletop SEM by Semplor:

  • Compact and easy to install

  • High resolution for morphological analysis

  • Ideal for university labs, R&D departments, and quality control

  • A cost-effective solution without compromising professional performance

A powerful tool for analyzing microstructures, defects, surface morphology, and failure analysis.


Optical Profilometry and 3D Surface Analysis – GBS and Sensofar

For advanced surface characterization, we present GBS and Sensofar optical profilometers, leading solutions for:

  • Roughness measurement (Ra, Rq, etc.)

  • 3D surface morphology analysis

  • Non-contact measurements

  • Evaluation of coatings, thin films, and microstructures

These technologies are essential in fields such as:

  • Microelectronics and semiconductors

  • Photovoltaics and energy devices

  • Functional materials and advanced coatings
