University Core Facility
The micro/nano electronics, energy harvesting, material science and MEMS research conducted at the University of Missouri College of Engineering is housed in a 10,000 sq. feet facility run by the Center for Micro/Nano Systems and Nanotechnology. The facility is equipped with several tools required for nanosynthesis using bottom up approach, as well as, top down approach. Metal nano-particles to thin film deposition are also performed using state of the art equipment. A wide variety of tools allow post-processing characterization. Many sophisticated instruments are available to characterize samples and devices.
Industrial & Academic Mission
The mission of the Nano Mems Semiconductor Utilization Lab (NMS) is to serve as a resource center for nano characterization and materials processing for educational and industrial users. Researchers from the University of Missouri who want to use the facility will be trained and then allowed to use the instruments. Industrial users who want to make use of the facility to prepare samples and devices should contact the center and facility personnel will help the industrial users to accomplish their task.
Prototype It Here
One of the Center’s core missions is to help industries to develop prototype devices and develop novel thin film processes for different applications. Several thin film and nano material process development equipments are housed in this center along with characterization tools which will help in developing prototype devices at a faster pace.
This center is dedicated to providing researchers and industrial partners a laboratory to develop thin films/nanomaterials processes and to perform characterization and analysis to advance research by the use of state-of-the-art process development and characterization equipment. This center also provides services with expert advice and data interpretation to enhance competitiveness of industrial partners and to develop novel devices.
