7. E3S Energy Efficient Electronic Systems CAMM Flexible Electronics CASP Autonomous Solar IEEC Electronics Packaging Advanced Diagnostics and Analytical Infrastructure

8. S3IP builds multidisciplinary collaborations The Center of Excellence collaborates with researchers from the Center for Advanced Sensors and Environmental Systems, the Institute for Materials Research and the Watson Institute for Systems Excellence, all of which are part of Binghamton University.

9. Integrated Electronics Engineering Center (IEEC) A New York State Center for Advanced Technology (NYSTAR) Electronics packaging can enable or limit new systems and applications in fields such as computers, telecommunications, life sciences, security and defense. The market push for greater functional power in smaller and smaller spaces can only be met through advances in packaging. The IEEC performs leading-edge research in electronics packaging and transfers those results to the packaging industry in New York State and beyond.

10. IEEC research thrusts Current research thrusts at the IEEC that solve problems for industry include: Electrical analysis Mechanical analysis and testing Solder analysis Thermal science Underfill science Micromechanics Photomechanics Failure mechanisms

12. Packaging for energy applications

13. Packaging of flexible electronics

14. New materials for electronic systems

15. Chip stacks with Through Silicon Vias (TSV)

17. CAMM facilities The CAMM’s unique $17 million facilities, hosted by Endicott Interconnect Technologies, are an example of successful university-industry collaboration. The Panel Microfabrication Laboratory: Offers large area photolithography and sputtering Is suitable for prototyping and early development The R2R Laboratory: Clean room project Azores Photolithography ECD Defect Inspection Bobst/GV High Vacuum Deposition CHA High Vacuum Deposition

18. CAMM research Why pursue roll-to-roll manufacturing? R2R can be less expensive and can enable new applications: Inexpensive displays Large area displays Low-cost RFID Remote sensors “Smart” fabrics Large-area lighting

19. Center for Autonomous Solar Power (CASP) The Center for Autonomous Solar Power aims to capitalize on the sun’s energy as a flexible, large-area and low-cost power source. CASP, which has received millions of dollars in federal funding: Develops flexible, low-cost solar cells. Creates integrated energy-storage and low-cost installation solutions. Fosters university-industry relationships. Provides leading-edge technology for the defense, aerospace, consumer and industrial markets.

20. CASP research CASP’s approach to solar energy technology: Relies on sustainable materials. Depends on the least energy-intensive solution. Calls for “green” process technology. Includes integrated storage. Will be produced on a flexible platform. Involves large-throughput roll-to-roll manufacturing. Will provide a module cost of roughly10 cents per kilowatt hour.

21. Center for Energy Efficient Electronic Systems (E3S) The Center for Energy Efficient Electronic Systems is a collaboration of S3IP, Emerson Network Power and industry partners. E3S works with government, academia and industry to develop new energy optimization and thermal management designs, enabling electronic data systems to operate more efficiently and securely.

22. E3S facilities E3S has developed plans for a data center laboratory, one that will be a world-class showcase for industry partners’ best-of-class technologies and most sophisticated R&D initiatives. The 7,800-square-foot facility will include three zones for member-defined research, an equipment gallery and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) substation.

25. Analytical and Diagnostics Laboratory (ADL) The Analytical and Diagnostics Laboratory promotes high-tech commercialization of microelectronic technologies by providinginstrument and technical support 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. The ADL is staffed by PhD-level research scientists and engineers who provide equipment training, consultative assistance, operator services and research collaboration to industry and academic partners.

26. ADL facilities The ADL, an 8,000-square-foot lab funded by a $21 million award from New York State, includes state-of-the-art instrumentation for: Electron microscopy. Optical microscopy. Thermal analysis. Non-destructive analysis. Spectroscopy. X-ray analysis. Mechanical and electrical testing. Surface and interface analysis. Thin-film fabrication and analysis. Mesoscale machining systems. Sample preparation tools and a microfabrication facility.
