Center for Integrated Electronics

The Center for Integrated Electronics, Electronics Manufacturing, and Electronic Media (CIE) was created to carry out industry-oriented research in electronics design and manufacturing, on-chip interconnect, and the development and utilization of electronic media. It is an umbrella organization hosting interdisciplinary microelectronics research.

Other Centers within CIE include:

• Center for Advanced Interconnect Sciences and Technology>
• Focus Center--New York, Rensselaer: Interconnections for Gigascale Integration>
• Center for Power Electronics Systems>
• Center for Broadband Data Transport Science and Technology

CIE emphasizes all aspects of integrated electronics and electronics manufacturing (from the chip-board-system levels) and now adds the application of electronics to create interactive learning materials which will revolutionize the way technology is used at all levels - from young child to senior citizen.
