The Ångström Laboratory is a powerful environment for a broad spectrum of materials science. Myfab Uppsala is the core facility, providing advanced process and analysis tools for micro- and nanotechnology. In the Myfab cleanroom, the entire sequence from realization to evaluation is available under one roof. We provide an open user facility for university and industry personnel active in research or development.


The lab staff is responsible for the lab operation, such as: 

- cleanroom infrastructure
- equipment maintenance
- user education, training and support
- development and control of processes and methods
- commissions for internal and external customers

Myfab Uppsala is a state-of-the-art laboratory and a competent organization that provide a link between university research and industrial development.

Uppsala University is the new world record holder for electrical energy generation from CIGS solar cells. The new world record is 23.64 per cent efficiency. The measurement was made by an independent institute and the results are published in the journal Nature Energy.

The record results from a collaboration between the company First Solar European Technology Center (formerly known as Evolar) and solar cell researchers at Uppsala University.

“The measurements that we have made ourselves for this solar cell and other solar cells produced recently are within the margin of error for the independent measurement. That measurement will also be used for an internal calibration of our own measurement methods,” says Marika Edoff, Professor of Solar Cell Technology at Uppsala University, who is responsible for the study.
