The University of Cincinnati received a $963,000 Project Grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Congressionally-Identified Projects program (CFDA 11.617) to upgrade and expand the equipment in its Mantei Center Clean Room Facility. The grant will fund the procurement of a Denton sputtering system and an automatic wafer mapping ellipsometer (J.A. Woollam), which will enhance the quality and relevance of the university's semiconductor manufacturing workforce development programs, such as the Ohio-Southwest Alliance on Semiconductors and Integrated Scalable-Manufacturing (OASIS). These new capabilities will enable the Mantei Center to serve a broader range of users, including undergraduate students, university research groups, and industry partners, while also supporting new degree and certificate programs. The award has an expected completion date of September 30, 2025.
