The Center for Semiconductor Manufacturing (CSM) at the University of Arizona is powering both today’s semiconductor and microelectronic industries and tomorrow’s chip-scale quantum technologies and photonic devices. CSM encourages students at all levels to explore the various disciplines that can lead to fulfilling careers in the semiconductor sector. We are further expanding flexible and adaptable curriculum offerings to support individuals who want to upskill or change career paths to the semiconductor sector. CSM provides industry partners of all scales with multiple ways to build your workforce, access cutting-edge research and utilize world-class equipment. The University houses two micro/nano fabrication facilities—one in the College of Engineering and the other in the Wyant College of Optical Sciences. These centers, combined with world-class metrology and imaging facilities, serve the UArizona community as the workhorses for numerous extramurally funded semiconductor and microelectronics programs. For tomorrow’s components and devices, including nanophotonics, nonlinear optics, 2D materials, next-generation transistors and quantum communication, these facilities provide a vertically integrated manufacturing space to support a combined basic and applied research portfolio matched nowhere else.
