The Center for
Microelectronic Materials and Structures (µELM)
The Yale Center for Microelectronic Materials and Structures, µELM, is a collaboration of Yale faculty members based on their common intellectual interests and research facility needs. µELM was established in 1984 "... to enhance the effectiveness of research and education at Yale in this area by encouraging multidisciplinary research involving Yale faculty and students, by increasing the number of graduate students and visiting scholars in residence, and to act as a major Center for developing and maintaining the knowledge base in areas of its special expertise" by means of "... special seminar series, joint research and consulting with scholars in institutions elsewhere."
The term "µELM" was coined about 1985 by its founder, Richard C. Barker, Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering. The letter "µ" represents Micro, and ELM stands for ELectronic Materials, so chosen because the city of New Haven was widely known as the "ELM City" before Dutch ELM disease wrecked havoc in New Haven and killed most of the ELM trees.
The four founding faculty members of µELM are Prof. Barker, Director Emeritus, Prof. T.P. Ma, Prof. Daniel E. Prober, and Prof. Robert G. Wheeler. Prof. Barker served as Director until his retirement in 2000.
Currently, Co-Directors are Prof. Ma and Prof. Robert J. Schoelkopf.
