PROJECT AREAS IN MICROELECTRONICS, MEMS and MICROFLUIDICS
The topics areas potentially available for
microelectronics, MEMS /
microsystems related PhD projects at the Scottish
Microelectronics Centre are many and varied. The
only factors that limit the scope are the availability
of the appropriate resources and staff to supervise
projects.
Take a look at our
website
which will give
you an idea of the technology available and the range of
possible topics areas. As you will see we are not too
limited by access to technology so we should be able to
taylor a project to you interests in the IC/MEMS area.
What differentiates our activities from most other similar
University IC/MEMS related researchers is that we
have 200mm wafer technology and can also
integrate MEMS with foundry (or our own) custom
microelectronics. We have i and g-line wafer stepper
technology (as well as e-beam) and CMP which are not
normally associated with MEMS fabrication research centres.
This combination opens up a number of potentially
interesting applications.
- Microelectronic test structures
- Process characterisation
- TCAD, process simulation
- Process optimisation
- New/novel materials and devices
- Microsystems / MEMS
- Optical MEMS
- Biotechnology
- Microdisplays
- RF resonators
- Microfluidics
