Join us in Sheffield on Monday 13th January 2020 to discover more about:

  • our latest technology and research insights
  • our world-class facilities
  • funding opportunities and support for collaborative R&D from the University of Sheffield
  • sponsoring PhD studentships through our new Centre for Doctoral Training

The Centre for GaN Materials and Devices is part of the EPSRC Future Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Hub which aims to establish the UK as the primary global research and manufacturing Hub for Compound Semiconductor technologies.

We’ll also be training future scientists and engineers as a partner institution (with Cardiff University, the University of Manchester and UCL) for the new EPSRC Centre for Doctoral training in Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing. 

Working with industry

Working with business and the wider community is at the heart of the University’s mission. We can offer a wide range of services to commercial companies including:

  • large and small scale collaborative R&D
  • tailored membership agreements
  • targeted research programs
  • training and consultancy in all aspects of advanced semiconductor design and manufacture
  • provision of services such as epitaxial materials, device fabrication and advanced material characterisation
  • funding advice and practical support
