The experience we build upon
Founders
The Center was established in 1979 by the late
Professor I. Kidron and Professor A. Bar-Lev as
part of the Technion's Department of Electrical
Engineering. Since its establishment it has
advanced to the forefront of Israel's technological
community making a critical contribution to the
country'' scientific, industrial and economic
development.
Microelctronics in Israel
Intel Israel
Tower semiconductors …….
You can find many of our graduates at key positions in the silicon valley
Making use of our experience
What is our vision here ?
Take the set of tools that every electrical engineer has
Create a similar set of tools but in the context of nanoelectronics
The rest will happen by itself
You will find many of our graduates at key positions in the carbon valley
