Overview

Materize is a platform for innovation and collaboration with industry. We combine the best of scientific expertise formed into a process and language that is easily accessible for industry to make scientific expertise beneficial to business.

Materize is a part of the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia, with its 40 years of experience and team of more than 230 employees.

Most of the international services and applications are being delivered in partnership with the industrial partners, providing a solid base for test-beds infrastructure, scaling-up services and ensuring high quality and time-to-market needs. 

Materize is a part of national innovation ecosystem for smart materials and photonics. 

The Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia (ISSP UL), is the leading research centre in Latvia that can provide internationally competitive research in materials science and provide innovative solutions for industrial applications. 

The Institute is a national contact… Materize / ISSP UL has the only classified laboratory cleanroom facilities (680 m2, ISO class 7-8) in Latvia, suitable for research, development and prototyping. It is equipped with different technologies including e-beam and optical lithography, thin film deposition, microscopy and morphology characterization. 

Materize / ISSP UL provide advanced spectroscopy (from UV to IR and X-ray), microscopy (from optical to TEM), structure analysis, dielectric & electric characterisation, electrochemical and other methods. 
. We provide services starting from transferring an idea into a proof-of-concept device, through prototype which is close to the production stage and ending with up-scaling services provided by our industrial partners in the field of thin film coatings, fibre optics, LCD technologies, microelectronics, sensors and other devices/technologies. 

We offer characterization and testing services including advanced spectroscopy (from UV to IR and X-ray), microscopy (from optical to TEM) and morphology, structure analysis, electrochemical, dielectric & electric characterisation.
