Materials Characterization and Device Fabrication
Center for Solid State Electronics Research (CSSER)
Trevor Thornton, Director
With 38 faculty members, 15 post-doctoral researchers and 80 students, the CSSER is focused in five main cross-disciplinary efforts: Nanostructures, Molecular Beam Epitaxy and Optoelectronics, Materials and Process Fundamentals, Low Power Electronics, and Bio and Molecular Electronics. Other areas include: MEMS and Nano-fluidics, Wide Band Gap Semiconductors, High-K Dielectrics and Nano-magnetics. The NanoFab offers state-of-the-art device processing and characterization tools to individuals and companies who need occasional or recurring access to such facilities. The Center provides resources and infrastructure for research and education in solid state electronics in the form of 30 laboratories covering more than 30,000 sq. ft., including a Class-100 clean room administered and maintained by a staff of 10.

The LeRoy Eyring Center for Solid State Science (CSSS)
Nate Newman, Director
The LeRoy Eyring Center for Solid State Science provides materials synthesis, processing and analysis using its state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and world-renowned expertise. The Center is equipped to perform services using a wide range of capabilities including surface imaging and analysis down to the nanoscale, ion beam analysis techniques (i.e., RBS and PIXE), focused ion beam etching and deposition, bulk and thin film materials synthesis and thermal analysis. The Center has specialized labs dedicated to the chemical and structural characterization of materials with atomic level sensitivity through its John M. Cowley Center for High Resolution Microscopy, Ion Beam, Surface Analysis, and Goldwater Materials Science facilities. The Center serves the needs of industrial constituents through its Industrial Associates Program.
