About the Centre
The centre provides the facilities for R&D work in the area of IC design and nanofabrication for staff and students. The prime objective of this Centre is to be the focal point for all R&D activities related to Microelectronics, MEMS, PV cell and Display technologies.
Its mission is to collaborate with industry and academic/research institutes in joint R&D projects involving staff/students and improve staff competencies in the area of IC design & nanofabrication.
The Nanofabrication lab is located in T12A203 (Block 12) and IC Design lab in T12401-02. It comprises a 450-square metre cleanroom of class 100 & class 1000 and houses the facilities for designing, fabrication and testing of microelectronic, MEMS, PV cell and display devices. The IC design lab houses workstations with IC design software.
