LAB FACILITIES

The Integrated Circuit and Nano/Microelectronics research facilities at the University of California, Riverside, consist of advanced computing power and adequate semiconductor IC research equipment.

1. The Nano/Microelectronics research at UCR is backed by a cluster of related research laboratories, including the Laboratory for Integrated Circuits and Systems (LICS), the Laboratory for Terascale and Terahertz Electronics, the Mixed-Signal Nanometer VLSI Research Lab, the Nano-Device Laboratory, the Nanoelectronic Materials and Device Laboratory, the Photonic Systems Device Laboratory, the Quantum Structures Laboratory, etc. The IC research equipment available around, ranging from Cleanroom to measurements, include Vacuum Deposition, X-Ray Diffraction, TEM, SEM, Mass Spectrometry, Electron Microscope, Zeiss Surface Analyzer, Cryogenic Treater, Controlled Furnace, Suss 6" Wafer RF Probe Station with Laser Cutter, Photo lithographer, Binding Stations, Precision Thermal Control Ovens, Tektronix Curve Tracers, Agilent 4156C Semiconductor Parameter Analyzer system, Cascade RF-1 Co-planar RF probing system, Suss 8” RF Probing Station, Barth 4012 TLP/CDM Testing System, Agilent Digital Miced-Signal Oscilloscopes, Agilent Spectrum Analyzers, Network Analyzers, Noise Figure Analyzers, Tek Arbitrary Waveform Generator, etc. The LICS laboratory was particularly established for performing advanced research in the field of RF and Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS) Integrated Circuits.

More advanced research set-ups are available at several near-by top-tier research institutions through faculty-to-faculty collaboration, including University of California, Los Angles; University of California, San Diego; California Institute of Technology; University of Southern California; JPL, etc.
