Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology (CâÂÂMET) is an autonomous scientific society under the Ministry of Electronics &â¯Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. CâÂÂMET is dedicated to advancing R&D in electronic materials and devices, aiming to enhance selfâÂÂreliance in materials and technology for strategic and industrial applications using indigenous resources.
CâÂÂMET works on advanced electronic materials including thick films, specialty polymers, ultraâÂÂpure and refractory metals, semiconductors, ceramics, and composites. Key research areas include nanomaterials, integrated electronics packaging (e.g. LTCC), piezoâÂÂsensors, energy materials, and eâÂÂwaste recycling technology.
Since 2006, the Pune Lab has developed Low Temperature CoâÂÂFired Ceramic (LTCC) materials and fabrication facilities, including a ~200â¯mó Class 10000 clean room and indigenous LTCC tapes and pastes for highâÂÂdensity packaging used in microwave, aerospace, MEMS and IC packaging applications.
CâÂÂMETâÂÂs Hyderabad laboratory hosts IndiaâÂÂs only MinistryâÂÂsupported RoHS testing facility, accredited by NABL (as per ISO 17025:2005) and recognized by BIS. The lab provides services such as EDXRF, ICPâÂÂMS, GCâÂÂMS, and more. CâÂÂMET also established a Centre of Excellence (CoE) in EâÂÂWaste Management under a PPP model with MeitY and Telangana government, focusing on recycling technologies for PCBs, lithiumâÂÂion batteries, permanent magnets, and solar cells. A 1â¯ton/day PCB recycling plant at Hyderabad has reached Technology Readiness Level 6 and is ready for commercialization.
CâÂÂMET operates three main laboratories:
