Michigan Semiconductor Hands-On Research Experience REU

Semiconductor technology is critical to all facets of modern society, from day-to-day consumer activities to state-of-the-art defense needs. To “shore up” our domestic workforce, this three-year REU Site: Semiconductor Hands-On Research Experience (SHORE) will provide opportunities for 9 students each year to participate in summer experiential training in nanofabrication of semiconductor materials, devices, and related technologies.

The 10-week REU projects will focus on research enabled by the Lurie Nanofabrication Facility at the University of Michigan (U-M). The research projects, supervised and mentored by U-M faculty and graduate students, will address key research challenges in semiconductor materials and devices, focusing on three thrusts: (1) wide bandgap materials and devices, (2) complex oxide materials and devices, and (3) nanotechnology for devices.
