IC DESIGN
AND FABRICATION CENTRE
Brief Statement of the Aims and Purpose of the Centre
The IC Design and Fabrication Centre is interdisciplinary in character
with main emphasis on microelectronics and semiconductor devices.
Its main objectives are:
Research and development in
the field of semiconductor materials, devices and systems, integrated
circuits and VLSI design.
Technical manpower development
in this area.
Participation with industry
for design and development of industry-related products.
Providing facilities for design,
testing and characterization of semiconductor devices, materials
and systems.
Interaction with other educational
and scientific institutions for undertaking interdisciplinary activities.
A Brief History
IC Design and Fabrication facilities (Microelectronics) were established
in the Departtment of Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering
at Jadavpur University in 1986 through a project aimed at meeting
manpower requirements in the area of LSI/VLSI. Since then a total
grant of more than Rs. 2 crores over several Plan periods has been
received from various funding authorities like MHRD, AICTE, UGC,
MNES and DST by the Centre.
By utilizing these grants, an excellent infrastructure has been
set up in the IC Centre (Microelectronics), unique of its kind in
West Bengal and indeed in the Eastern Region. This is evidenced
by the quantity and quality of research publications; the number
of undergraduate and postgraduate students trained in this highly
specialized area of national importance; and, above all, by the
interest taken by industries in the work of the group. A number
of faculty members from the Department of Electronics & Tele-communication
Engineering are directly involved in setting up and operating these
facilities. There is also a full-time Senior Scientific Officer,
Two Technical Assistants, a Office Assistant and Research Fellows
for carrying out activities in different projects.
Outline of the admin1istrative/Academic structure
The Centre is admin1istered by an Academic/admin1istrative Committee
chaired by the Vice-Chancellor. The members include the Dean of
the Faculty of Engineering & Technology; the Registrar and the
Finance Officer; the Heads of the Departments of Electronics &
Telecommunication Engineering and Computer Science Engineering;
the Directors of the School of Material Science, the School of Educational
Technology and the School of Energy Studies; and several members
of the Department of Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering.
The day-to-day running of the Centre is in charge of the Co-Ordinator.
