Microelectronics Research Laboratory (MRL)

Microelectronics Research Laboratory is engaged a variety of Research Areas for the development of Devices and Circuits for present and future.  The laboratory started in 1980s with $5 million dollar investment with a private company.  More than 80 students have obtained Ph.D.’s with the work going on the laboratory. The research work going on in the laboratory has resulted hundreds of publications in international journals and conferences with over ten thousand citations in technical literature. Students graduated from our group are working in companies such as Intel, Qualcom, Broadcom and Infineon technologies.  In addition, we partner with small companies in SBIR and STTR projects. Recently, Symetrix Corporation has donated over $1million dollar to upgrade the facility to process 12” wafers.
