In addition to the facilities for class room experiments, the department has a number of sophisticated equipment, namely, Atomic Force Microscope, Profilometer, RF-Magnetron Sputtering system, Keithley simultaneous C-V analyzer, Keithley programmable electrometer, Oxidation and Diffusion furnaces, De-ionized water plant, High Speed Digital storage oscilloscope, Thin film coating unit with thickness monitor, computer network, etc. The department maintains a Clean Area and several research Labs.

   

A completely indigenous PECVD system has been fabricated in collaboration with NPL, New Delhi, to be used for fabrication of thin film transistors based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon. An indigenous RF Magnetron sputtering system has also been fabricated.

   

The department has established active collaboration with a number of national laboratories and  industries and also offers consultancy services to the nearby electronic industries for testing and developing products. Joint research activities are undertaken with National Physical Laboratory, Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute, Semiconductor Complex Limited, etc. A number of research scholars are working in areas related to physics and technology of integrated circuits, devices and simulation. Various research projects funded by outside agencies are going on in this department under the supervision of the faculty members. There is a departmental library which is well equipped with the latest books and journals in the field of electronics and computers.

   

The current research activities in the department are in the following areas:

  • Nano Materials and Devices
  • Barrier layers for Metallisation
  • MEMS-Design and Fabrication
  • Optoelectronic semiconductor thin film and devices
  • Plasma Source Ion implantation and surface modification
  • Amorphous Silicon films and DLC films
  • Optical communication
  • Simulation and modeling of sub-micron devices for VLSI circuits
  • Superconducting thin films
  • Design for VLSI circuits
  • Software reuse
