The Center for Solid State Electronics Research (CSSER) was established in 1981 as part of the Engineering Excellence Program at Arizona State University, in response to the growth of high technology industry in Arizona. The program was designed to benefit the State of Arizona as follows:

• Contributing to the university's continued economic growth
• Stimulating joint research with industry
• Providing a source of highly qualified engineering talent
• Attracting quality students and researchers
• Attracting federal research funding

Research groups at CSSER include:

• Nanostructures
• Molecular Beam Epitaxy and Optoelectronics
• Materials and Process Fundamentals
• Low Power Electronics
• Bio and Molecular Electronics
• Independents

In addition to our seven primary interdiscipinary microelectronics research areas, we have significant efforts in MEMS, Molecular Electronics, Wide Bandgap Materials, Environmentally Benign Processing, Manufacturing and Controls and Biotechnology.
