nanotechnology and nanoelectronics

Nanotechnology and Nanoelectronics Nanotechnology offers the promise of breakthroughs in areas such as medicine, the environment and electronics and currently has a broad and ever-expanding impact on many sectors of the economy in the creation of new products, businesses, jobs and even new industries.

Nanotechnology and Nanoelectronics (NaN) research efforts in the Engineering School encompass both fundamental inquiries into nano and quantum structures, as well as cutting-edge applications in the health, electronics, and computing arenas. Present research areas exist in the study of mechanical properties of nanomaterials, nano-devices, nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS), novel materials, molecular beam epitaxy, optoelectronics, nano-fluidics, wide band gap semiconductors, high-K dielectrics, nanoelectronic systems packaging, nano-bio engineering, and nanomagnetics. Centers and research groups that support nanotechnology study and applications include:

The Center for Solid State Electronics Research (CSSER). CSSER is an advanced research and process development facility with 38 faculty members, 15 post-doctoral researchers and over 80 students drawn from various disciplines including biochemistry, bioengineering, chemistry, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, materials science, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, and physics. Its NanoFab Laboratory provides a broad array of device processing and characterization equipment, including a 4,000 square foot clean room facility, electron beam lithography and scanning electron microscopes.

The The Leroy Eyring Center for Solid State Science (CSS) supports research in solid state science, including solid state physics, chemistry, materials research and earth and planetary sciences. It offers a unique interdisciplinary environment for both engineers and scientists to study the fundamental knowledge of matter as well as advanced materials and processes essential for modern technology.

The Center for Applied Nanobiosciences (CANi) is located within the Biodesign Institute of Arizona State University. The center's focus is the use of nanoscale biological tools to better understand diseases as well as develop new technologies in a variety of health monitoring and defense applications.

The Arizona Institute for Nano-Electronics (AINE) provides the structure for efforts in four areas: the Center for Applied Nanoionics; the Center for Nanophotonics; the Center for Biomolecular Integrated Circuits; and the Center for Computational Nanosciences.
