CAFE embraces a multidisciplinary, diverse and interactive culture that maximizes broader impacts
and ensures that the whole will be far greater than the sum of its parts.
Center for Advanced Semiconductor Fabrication Research and Education
The Center for Advanced Semiconductor Fabrication Research and Education (CAFE) is a multi-institutional research and education center supported by the Intel Corporation via its Semiconductor Education and Research Program for Ohio. The focus of CAFE is on advancing the state of semiconductor fabrication for next-generation device technologies, leveraging world-leading research expertise and capabilities available within our team.
Learning by Doing
By assembling a cohort from large state universities, smaller private colleges and minority-serving institutions into a single center, CAFE will provide semiconductor research opportunities to students from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, who will share in the use of world-class facilities in an experiential learning environment with a team science approach.
