A team from the UHM College of Engineering received a $466,902 grant in September 2019 from NSF

A team from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa College of Engineering received a $466,902 grant in September 2019 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to purchase a state-of-the-art tool for microfabrication.

The high-speed maskless lithography tool will be housed in the College of Engineering clean room, and will generate high-resolution, controlled mechanical and electrical designs essential for advancing research in engineering, biosciences and applied physics. It will be able to create ultra-fine, intricate patterns 1/100th the width of a human hair, across an area the size of a coffee saucer, in just a few minutes. This capability will eliminate days of tedious and expensive work.  The proposal team was led by Mechanical Engineering Assistant Professor Joseph Brown, and also includes mechanical Engineering Assistant Professors Woochul Lee, Sangwoo Shin and Tyler Ray; and Electrical Engineering Professor Aaron Ohta. The award is part of the highly competitive NSF Major Research Instrumentation program.
