Background Information

Micro- and Nano-Engineering (MNE) is an international conference on micro- and nanofabrication using lithography and related techniques. The conference brings together engineers and scientists from all over the world to discuss recent progress and future trends in the fabrication and applications of micro- and nanostructures. On average the MNE conference has 400-500 participants. The conference proceedings are published in Microelectronic Engineering.

The MNE 2007 conference in Copenhagen will be the 33rd in a series that started in Cambridge in 1975, most recently held in Rotterdam (2004), Vienna (2005), and Barcelona (2006).

MNE has a sister conference, the Electron-, Ion-, and Photon-Beam and Nanotechnology Conference (EIPBN) in the USA and the Microprocesses and the Nanotechnology Conference (MNC) in Japan. It is a tradition that the author of the “Best paper” of at least one of the sister conferences is giving an invited talk at MNE.
