Lab
ˇá Shared – Center for
Autonomous Solar Power (CASP)
The
Center for Autonomous Solar Power (CASP) is a multidisciplinary research center
that is meeting the scientific challenges to reduce the cost of solar power and
enhance energy efficiency. The CASP has
extensive facilities for thin film devices. It includes lithography,
deposition, etching, oxidation, diffusion, and characterization tools to name a
few.
ˇá Shared – Analytical
and Diagnostics Laboratory (ADL)
The
Analytical and Diagnostics Laboratory (ADL) is a centralized,
interdisciplinary, fully staffed research facility at SUNY Binghamton that
promotes high tech commercialization of microelectronic technologies by
providing instrument and technical support for materials diagnostics, analysis
and characterization in areas such as electronics systems integration and
packaging, materials research, and flexible electronics. The lab also supports
life sciences research applications in medical areas, security systems for detection
of pathogens, and additional industrial and consumer applications, both
directly as well as through related emerging technologies.
