Louisiana Tech University's Institute for Micromanufacturing (IfM) is one of only a small number of EPSCoR state R&D facilities committed to research, education, and training in semiconductor materials and microfabrication. Housed in its own dedicated facility built in 1995 with the help of federal and State investments, the IfM plays an indispensable role in supporting basic and applied research as well as workforce development both in the region and nationally. Students trained at IfM occupy R&D and management positions at Intel, AMD, Samsung, SONY, Texas Instruments, Meta, and other companies that make use of semiconductor and microscale processing technologies, as well as at several Defense-serving companies such as Raytheon, Northrup Grumman, Boeing, and Radiance Technologies. The IfM offers over 20,000 sq. ft. of research space including 5,000 sq. ft. of cleanrooms for the design, fabrication, and testing of application-specific microsystems and the basic science behind them. The IfM is a collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment focused on innovations in multiscale materials, structures, devices and systems. In addition to scientific research, the IfM also includes in its mission the
education and training to the next generation of scientists and engineers. More information on the IfM research center can be found at its website (http://ifm.latech.edu).
