A comprehensive facility for fabricating nano- and microelectronic devices, the Notre Dame Nanofabrication Facility (NDNF) serves approximately 150 users across the University. The NDNF offers researchers the ability to explore a wide range of materials using a diverse array of processes and techniques. Active areas of research include Si CMOS, nano- and microfluidics, MEMS, high-performance III-V compound semiconductors, graphene, optoelectronics, and nanoelectronic devices.

Research in the NDNF is not restricted to electronics. The flexibility fostered in the NDNF is vital to advancing the functionality and performance of electronic and non-electronic devices for applications in industries such as communications, computing, consumer electronics, health care, energy harvesting and conversion, and transportation.

The NDNF will move from Fitzpatrick Hall to a new clean room, located in the Stinson-Remick Hall of Engineering, when the building is complete in December 2009. The new space is almost double the current facility, allowing the NDNF to expand into new areas. For more information, visit the NDNF Web site.
