Microelectronics and Semiconductors

As the U.S. works to regain leadership in microelectronics, success depends not just on manufacturing, but on innovation in design, materials, and data-driven fabrication. Meeting future demands requires energy-efficient devices, new materials, and smarter manufacturing methods.

At CSL, researchers are advancing microelectronics through machine learning and AI, pioneering approaches to reduce computing’s energy footprint. Their innovations aim to transform how electronics are designed and built, making infrastructure more sustainable and efficient.

Working closely with the Nick Holonyak Micro and Nanotechnology Lab, CSL faculty are developing novel IoT sensors to detect equipment failures before they occur and designing systems that capture and analyze real-time data from semiconductor growth and fabrication environments.

Through interdisciplinary collaboration and cutting-edge research, CSL is helping shape the next era of microelectronics innovation.
