College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering

The College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE), on the campus of the University at Albany (SUNY Albany) is a global education, research, development and technology deployment resource for students and researchers in nanotechnology. Since its inception in 2004, CNSE has gained worldwide recognition as a leader and pioneer in nanotechnology education, innovation, and economic outreach and investment.[1]

CNSE’s Albany NanoTech Complex is a $12 billion, 800,000-square-foot (74,000 m2) complex that includes an industrial-scale 80,000-square-foot (7,400 m2) cleanroom "as well as a collection of equipment perhaps unique in the world."[2] The cleanroom space is Class 1-capable and houses a fully integrated, 300 mm wafer, computer chip pilot prototyping and demonstration line. More than 2,500 scientists, researchers, engineers, students, and faculty work on site at CNSE’s Albany NanoTech Complex, from leading global companies including IBM, AMD, GlobalFoundries, SEMATECH, Toshiba, Applied Materials, Tokyo Electron, ASML, Novellus Systems, Vistec Lithography, and Atotech.[3]

History

The College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering was originally established as the School of Nanosciences and Nanoengineering at the University at Albany in 2001. It began as a combined vision of government, academia, and industry. The common goal was to propel New York to a leadership position in technology and economic development. Four key drivers comprised the strategy: select an overarching discipline (nanotechnology); invest in state-of-the-art infrastructure; focus on world-class, hands-on education and training incorporating the entire supply chain; and leverage public-private partnerships.[citation needed] CNSE was accredited as the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering of the University at Albany in 2004, and in December of that year, awarded its first Ph.D. degrees in nanoscience.[4]

Academics

CNSE offers degree programs leading to the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Nanoscale Engineering and Nanoscale Science,[5] the Masters of Science (M.S.) degree in either Nanoscale Science or Nanoscale Engineering, and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in either Nanoscale Science or Nanoscale Engineering. CNSE also offers a combined Masters of Science and Masters of Business Administration (M.S.-MBA) degree, the "Nano+MBA," with the ability to earn the M.S. degree in either Nanoscale Science or Nanoscale Engineering,[6] or enroll in the nanotechnology elective track while participating in UAlbany's Evening MBA program.[7] Additionally, CNSE and SUNY Downstate Medical Center offer a joint M.D. and Ph.D. program.[8] The program allows students to earn an M.D. in Medicine and a Ph.D. in Nanoscale Science or Engineering.[9] CNSE became the first college to launch a comprehensive baccalaureate program in Nanoscale Engineering and Nanoscale Science.[10]

Campus

CNSE's Albany NanoTech Complex is located at the western end of the University at Albany campus in Albany, New York.[11] NanoFab 200 (CESTM), an earlier part of the campus, was completed June 1997. This 70,000-square-foot (6,500 m2), $16.5 million facility includes 4,000 square feet (370 m2) feet of cleanroom space, plus CNSE metrology labs and office space for programs such as SUNY’s Atmospheric Sciences Research Center. NanoFab South (NFS), completed March 2004, is a 150,000-square-foot (14,000 m2), $50 million facility including 32,000 square feet (3,000 m2) of 300 mm wafer, class 1-capable cleanroom space. Completed December 2005, NanoFab North (NFN) is a 230,000-square-foot (21,000 m2), $175 million facility including 35,000 square feet (3,300 m2) of cleanroom space with Class 1-capable 300mm wafer production. The most recent expansion of the Albany NanoTech Complex was completed in March 2009. The $150 million project includes NanoFab East, a 250,000-square-foot (23,000 m2) office, laboratory, and classroom building, in addition to NanoFab Central, a separate 100,000-square-foot (9,300 m2) building that houses 15,000 square feet (1,400 m2) of 300mm wafer, class 1 -apable cleanroom space.[12] The NanoFab North facility also houses a $65 million tool that uses extreme ultraviolet light to produce the world's smallest integrated circuits, and is one of only two in the world.[13]

Constellations

The traditional departmental structure at CNSE is tailored into constellation "think-tanks" that encourage and stimulate cross-disciplinary educational curricula and research programs.[14] There are four such think-tanks. Nanoscience refers to the observation, identification, description, discovery, experimental investigation, and theoretical interpretation of nanoscale phenomena.[15] Nanoengineering is the application of nanoscience principles to practical ends, such as the design, manufacture, and operation of efficient and functional structures, machines, processes, and systems on the atomic scale.[16] Nanobioscience refers to the application of nanoscale scientific concepts and principles to the study of biological and biomedical structures and systems.[17] Nanoeconomics is the formulation, study, and analysis of the economic and business principles underlying the development and deployment of nanoscale know-how, products, and systems.[18]

Research

CNSE is the site of "one of the world's most advanced cleanrooms for making prototypes of next-generation chips".[19] Academic and corporate scientists are engaged in leading-edge research in fields including energy and power electronics, interconnect sciences, EUV lithography, and nanoelectronics.[20]

Strategic technology and commercialization centers and programs

CNSE is the home of numerous pioneering nanotechnology programs funded by a variety of public and private sources. CNSE is able to accelerate the commercialization of technologies by providing technology deployment, market development, economic outreach and business assistance under a variety of centers and programs.

  • The Applied Materials (AMAT) R&D Center is a $300 million center focusing on immersion lithography; AMAT’s only R&D facility outside its headquarters in San Jose, California.[21]
