Nobody does it better.
That's what alumnus Monte Lawrence would like to hear when the talk in semiconductor circles turns to ASU's Center for Solid State Science. In December he fully funded the Lawrence Chair in Solid State Science, which will help create a pre-eminent program. Since it was established in 1974, the center has become one of the most complete university laboratories in the nation for materials synthesis, processing and analysis. The Lawrence Chair will also support an annual conference in epitaxial semiconductor processing, which is Lawrence's specific area of research interest. The science, for example, is critical in medical imaging techniques such as PET scans.
