The Nanoelectronics Laboratory is directed by Dr. Andrew J. Steckl, Ohio Eminent Scholar and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Gieringer Professor of Solid State Microelectronics. Founded in 1988, the NanoLab is a member of the Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Cincinnati. The majority of the NanoLab is located in 910 Rhodes Hall. Within in this location a class 1000 clean room is located along with office and computing space. The rest of the NanoLab is located adjacent to 910 Rhodes and consists of a room dedicated to semiconductor characterization techniques and a room for 3 more student offices. Pictured to the right is the NanoLab conference room, with the clean room and MBE in the background. The NanoLab has a variety of computing resources for students disposal consisting of several Mac's (bottom right), over a dozen PC's and a SGI workstation. Indeed these resources are well used by the NanoLab students. Most of the student offices are located in 910 Rhodes such as the desk pictured to the left. Having offices, cleanroom and computing resources integrated in one location provides convenience to students. This along with a diverse spectrum of student backgrounds and focuses allows an efficient and exciting approach to daily research. The Nanoelectronics Laboratory personnel consists of graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and professional staff, with an average group size of 12-15 individuals. External research support is provided by various industrial organizations and state and federal government agencies, including Ohio Edison Materials Technology Center, Army Research Office, Cray Research Corp., Universal Energy Systems Co., Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Office of Naval Research, National Science Foundation.
