ITME is a leading Polish Institute of leading multi-research to develop new materials and materials based on these innovative tools and components for applications in electronics, microsystems, optoelectronics, micromechanics, metrology, etc.
            Developed at the Institute high-tech materials, instruments and components enable scientific collaboration with universities and research institutes, are published in Polish and international journals, offered to interested customers to implement their projects, implemented in the industry or used for short series production within the Institute.
             The ITME manufacturing technologies are being developed single crystals of semiconductor materials, oxide crystals (optical, piezoelectric), super-pure metals, glass active. Nanotechnologies are widely used in studies of new materials such as photonic crystals, metamaterials make it possible to produce super-pure materials, glass active fiber, photonic, a new (active and transparent) nanoceramikę and composite materials, which have unique properties in a wide range of applications.
            The Institute developed epitaxial structures for electronic and optoelectronic devices, innovative lasers, photodetectors, sensors, filters, piezoelectric, diffractive lenses.

The idea of single-crystal growth method invented by Prof. Jan Czochralski, widely used in the world, is continued at the Institute. Development of this method, leads to the subsequent development of highly advanced technologies in a field of semiconductor and oxide single crystals.
