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 NanoLab is located on the 9^th floor of Rhodes Hall. A class 1000 clean room is utilized for thin film deposition and device fabrication. Other labs are dedicated to optical and materials characterization, focused ion beam processing and atomic force microscopy. Pictured at right is the NanoLab conference room, with the clean room and Riber MBE system 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, leads to 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 organizations, including Army Research Office, Army Research Laboratory, Ohio Technology Action Fund, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, National Science Foundation.
