REU Summer Program

Welcome to the UT-Microelectronics Center, now funded by the National Science Foundation through the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network.

We are a state-of-the-art, shared-equipment, open-use resource. Our laboratory serves academic, industrial, and governmental researchers across the country and around the globe. The MRC is more than just a lab–it is a vibrant community of researchers.

Our lab-members come from a wide variety of disciplines, with research in areas of electronics, ,optics, MEMS, biology, and chemistry, as well as process characterization and fabrication of more traditional electronics devices.

The laboratory is located in the MER building located on the JJ Pickle Research Campus, part of The University of Texas at Austin. The MRC welcomes researchers from any discipline who wishes to explore uses of microfabrication technology in their work.
