Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology is a Scientific Society Registered under Ministry of using high tech ceramic processing.
Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology is a Scientific Society Registered under Ministry of Information Technology, with the main objective to establish technology strength in electronics materials for the present and future industrial requirement. Presently C-MET has three laboratories at Hyderabad, Pune and Thrissur. The high purity materials are the basic building blocks of electronics
technology and therefore C-MET, Hyderabad is involved in development as well as scaling up of operations for production of high purity metals, alloys, special dopants and semiconductor materials. The gamut of operations required in purification process includes hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, vacuum metallurgy, Electro-metallurgy, zone refining, electron beam melting etc. It also requires very advanced methods of analysing the impurities in ppm/ppb level employing emission spectrography, atomic absorption spectrometry, mass spectro-metry etc. To utilise the national mineral resources in the most optimum manner,
With its administrative headquarters at Pune, C-MET distributes its research activities between its three laboratories at Pune, Hyderabad and Thrissur with the above-mentioned specific research areas earmarked for each of these three laboratories. The administration and management of the Society are vested with a Governing Council, a Steering Committee and an Executive Committee. C-MET, Pune is engaged in development of Thick Film Materials for hybrids and Surface mounted devices, speciality polymers likephotoresists, polymides and conducting polymers, nano optical glass ceramics and basic chemicals. C-MET, Hyderabad plans to take-up development activities for process technologies for high purity metals like Indium, Gold, Tantalum, Arsenic, Gallium, Bismuth, Tellurium, Selenium, Cadmium etc. C-MET, Thrissur is working on preparation of fine powders of electronic ceramics like titanates, Zirconates, Alumina and Ferrites and their procesing to make substrates, MLC's, chip inductors etc.
