Computer Lab

The Center offers computer facilities
for the design and simulation of
structures and circuits. Desktop 32 bit machines are available for basic simulations while a Sun 64 bit server handles more intensive tasks. A list of available software
is available here. To sign up

Fabrication Facilities

The Center's fabrication facilities
include a plotter for mask fabrication
and a chemical etching station
designed for a number of different
substrates such as FR4, duroid, PTFE,
alumina, and chrome. Positive
photoresist and an UV lamp are
available for photolithography. In
addition, the Center has an LPKF
ProtoMat PCB milling machine.
