====== FAFO e.V. ======

{{::header-sem.jpg?nolink&600|}}

Welcome! We are a brand new non-profit semiconductor research, applied science and analytical chemistry lab in Munich.

We are also group of friends who wanted a space to do the kind of research we've always wanted, but couldn't do at our local hackerspaces - either due to space constraints, or lack of structures allowing for a safe operation of a proper lab.

We're inspired by the likes of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Zeloof|Sam Zeloof]], [[https://hackerfab.ece.cmu.edu/|Hacker Fab]] and others. Our aim is to contribute to the global movement of DIY semiconductors by pushing the limits of what can be done in a non-commercial, unaffiliated grassroots setting. While we're starting out in the area of DIY semiconductor research, there's no telling where we'll end up.
