Budapest University of Technology and Economics

The Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), as one of the greatest Hungarian higher education institutions regards its mission the differentiated, multi-level, wide base quality education, elite-training, research and development, based on a strong primary training corresponding to social demands and the general development of science.

Aim of BME is the high level university and college basic training, professional further training, scientific training, and scientific qualification on several fields of natural and technical sciences, of the inanimate and animate natural sciences as well as social sciences.

Department of Electronics Technology

The Department of Electronics Technology was established in 1964 to teach and research the different fields of materials science, physical design and technology for the benefit of the electronics industry. The Department makes efforts to be a good partner of the industry in supplying skilful engineers, organizing postgraduate courses and training, carrying out research and development projects; and providing solutions of different topics of microelectronics and technology.

In the field of education the mission of the Department of Electronics Technology is to teach the knowledge of technology for students of electrical engineering and technical informatics. Since electronics technology is the knowledge associated with or applied to the realization of electronic components, circuits and systems, and seeing that today's electronics is microelectronics, in the last decade the Department has directed its energies towards the education of microelectronics packaging and interconnection technology, including printed wiring board technology; thin and thick films; hybrid circuits; multichip modules; component assembly; encapsulation techniques and thermal management; sensors, actuators and displays; laser technology; reliability and quality management; computer aided design and manufacturing; computer integrated manufacturing and production control.

In the field of research the Department of Electronics Technology lays special emphasis on the interconnection and packaging technology of microelectronics circuit modules and systems, which acts as a driving engine for continued progress in electronics in the third millennium. Sponsored by an INCO-Copernicus Project of the European Committee and a couple of projects of the Ministry of Education, the National Committee of Technological Developments, companies and foundations of Hungary, the Department developed prototyping facility and processing technologies for low cost laminated multichip modules (MCM-Ls) for the benefit of small enterprises of the European industry.
