That is the only thing that makes this possible. No one person knows everything that this type of work requires. We have faculty and graduate students from five of the six engineering departments as well as from physics, chemistry and other departments across the University. Although HiDEC is an electrical engineering center, it is considered a multidisciplinary and comprehensive research and education center within the College of Engineering. HiDEC focuses on electronic packaging utilizing a variety of technologies.
Electronic packaging provides the encased circuit with the proper operating conditions.
This includes maintaining a proper operating temperature, protection from humidity and contaminants. This provides robust mechanical support and assures a good thermal operation with minimum limitation on the circuit bandwidth for good electrical performance.
