The revolution in communications and information technology has been fueled by less publicized advances in other areas. One of these is the ability to manufacture integrated circuits containing thousands of transistors with high reliability. OSU has active research in several types of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI). These areas include: Mixed mode CMOS VLSI including analog, MEMS and digital electronics. As systems become smaller and smaller more capabilities are being put directly onto a wafer. The research areas sensor/transducer systems and biomedical engineering. Other areas of active research are high speed (GHz) and low power CMOS analog to digital and digital to analog converters.

Graduate level courses cover topics in digital and analog VLSI design, and advanced solid state electronics. Two cleanrooms are affiliated with OSU, and state-of-the-art probe stations are used for characterization.
