Although impressive progress has been achieved, microelectronics is still far from being able to imitate Nature in terms of integration density, functionality and performance. A different approach has thus been envisioned for future advances in semiconductor science and technology in the 21st century. This will consist of reaching closer to the structure of atoms, by employing nanoscale electronics....[read more]

The Center for Quantum Devices has a comprehensive facility for solid state research. This Includes semiconductor thin film epitaxial growth, material characterization, material processing and device fabrication, thin film deposition, and device packaging and measurement. The facility occupies a total of 8,000 square feet of laboratory and office space. 3,000 square feet of this total are clean room space in Cook Hall, specifically designed by Proffessor Razeghi. An additional 3,500 square foot general laboratory space is also available for device testing, and the balance of 1,500 square feet is office space. ...[tour our facilities]

The Center for Quantum Devices is part of the Solid State and Photonics (SSP) thrust opperating under the Department of Electrical Enginnering and Computer Science at Northwestern University in Evanston Illinois. A number of courses, both graduate and undergrduate, are offered by the department and overseen by Professor Razeghi, that relate to the work carrier out at the Center for Quantum Devices ...[list of classes offered]
