Description
The DEM group in the Technical Support department provides services for the
fabrication of special printed circuits that are invaluable for the whole particle
physics community. The capability is based around a core technology that is developed
by using skills to etch and process materials that are not commonly used in industry,
combined with production methods used in PCB manufacturing. The role of the
prototyping facilities is to assist engineers and physicists and to offer them easy
access to competencies often not available from industry. At the same time, with the
expertise and production capacity available, it makes that CERN is always geared up
to handle emergency situations. The design office and the assembly workshop that are
also part of DEM have similar roles that lower the cost and improve the quality and
maintainability of electronics developed at CERN.
