Materials Synthesis &Characterization Facility

Technical Areas

!e Materials Synthesis and Characterization Facility (M"SC) is a comprehensive resource that serves as both an open user facility and an innovation center. M"SC faculty and sta# provide deep experience in thin-film deposition, device fabrication, and materi-als analysis, serving as a hub for materials and device development on the Oregon State University campus.InnovationOSU’s inorganic materials research has recently elic-ited worldwide interest in areas including transparent transistors, inorganic photoresists, and blue pigments. !ese developments and recent hiring of numer-ous top-flight researchers have positioned M"SC for growth in industrial research engagement.

!e collaboratory is transforming research and educa-tion at OSU, while creating an engine for economic impact through job creation, new ventures, and company partnerships. Strategic partners, including other university researchers, industry, and national laboratories, co-locate and collaborate with M"SC researchers.

M!SC Innovation FacilityWhat We DoFor external users, M"SC is the gateway to materials and device synthesis and characterization on the OSU campus. M"SC intensively partners with industry to foster novel technologies, transforming new concepts to reality.

Taking It to the Next LevelPlans are being advanced to build a 50,000 square-foot centralized M"SC Innovation Facility comprising a cleanroom, synthesis labs, characterization labs and o$ce/conference rooms capable of accommodat-ing 40 faculty, sta# and industrial partners, and 200 graduate students. !e facility will house a technol-ogy incubator for launching spino#s and assisting established businesses in the development of new technologies and products.
