The Institute researchers have access to outstanding experimental resources, including the UC Nanofabrication Facility and the Advanced Materials Characterization Center, both located in the new University of Cincinnati Engineering Research Center.

The Engineering Research Center Nanofabrication Facility (www.eng.uc.edu/erccleanroom/) is a central fabrication, processing, and characterization center intended to be used by a diverse campus wide research community. The more than 8000 square foot facility includes class 10, 100, 1000, and 10,000 clean room spaces, with lithography, deposition, etching, oxidation, diffusion, and characterization capabilities. The newest arrival to the facility is the Raith 150 E-Beam Lithography tool that enables researchers to directly write pattern sub-100 nm features for nanoscale device fabrication.
