Facilities

UCSB NanoFabrication Facility

This 10,000 square foot facility is a shared facility for fabrication of semiconductor devices and similar structures. It is a key resource of the College of Engineering at UCSB, being used by ~250 Ph.D. students and ~40 associated faculty. It provides world-class facilities for fabrication of semiconductor devices, and is the most important resource for our electron device research.

MBE Lab: (Professors Gossard, Speck, and others)

Our III-V device research relies on the collaboration and efforts of our colleagues in the UCSB MBE lab. This is one of the worlds' largest academic laboratories for research in semiconductor materials and semiconductor growth. It is a key contributor to our success with wideband InP HBTs

High Speed Electronics Lab: (Rodwell lab)

This is a design and test facility. We have computers for design using both III-V (Agilent ADS) and VLSI-centric (Cadence) design tools. Our network analyzer, probe stations, and probes provide measurements from DC-330 GHz. Our digital test station provides clock signals up to 210 GHz, and can measure signal spectra to 330 GHz and waveforms to 110 GHz.

Engineering Science Building

Our offices, the Electronics Lab, and the Nanofabrication Lab are in the Engineering Sciences Building. The ESB houses research groups in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Materials, with all groups having a focus on the fabrication of small-scale solid-state devices. The facilities are modern and the environment is highly collaborative.
