The CAMD enables faculty and researchers to work on cutting edge technologies and to keep pace with the developments taking place globally. The facility is encouraged to be used by postgraduate, doctoral and postdoctoral researchers and also the faculty members from all the departments/schools. It is equipped with several scientific instruments that are available in some of the renowned universities/ IITs/ Institutes in India. The center is broadly classified into three research facilities:
• Thin-films and Measurement Lab
• Material Characterization Lab
• Device Fabrication Lab
Thin films and measurement lab includes some advanced physical papor deposition systems (sputtering, electron-beam-evaporation, cathodic-arc) and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition for thin films and
surface engineering research.
Material characterization lab has some sophisticated equipment such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, an Integrated system having atomic force microscope, scanning near optical microscope and
Raman spectroscopy for advanced materials characterization.
Device and fabrication lab includes the instruments such as the glove box and laser pattern generator system.
