Message from Dean

In the third wave of global informatization, the integrated circuit industry will play a key role in boosting the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry into digital intelligence. The information age is a brand-new era with integrated circuit as the foundation. The School of Microelectronics is a secondary college established by the Southern University of Science and Technology in cooperation with renowned universities in the Greater Bay Area based on innovative operation concepts and mechanisms of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area strategic planning. The school was formally established in January 2019 with an aim to become a national exemplary school of microelectronics.

With microelectronics technology and devices, integrated circuits and systems as the key disciplines, the school has gathered high-quality resources from the Southern University of Science and Technology and renowned universities in the Greater Bay Area with regard to teaching staff, teaching and research, IUR cooperation, and more. In terms of teaching staff, a high-quality team has been formed with senior professors as academic leaders, and young as well as middle-aged core talent as main academic body. The school has a first-class scientific research platform,  including Research Center on IC Design Methodology and EDA , Research Center on High-performance System-on-chip ICs, Research Center on Wide Band Gap Semiconductor , Research Center on Microsystems and Applications, as well as Micro-Nano Processing and R&D Platform, and IC Design, Test and R&D Platform. The school has established joint laboratories with various excellent enterprises in related fields; the school has reached cooperative relations with many renowned international universities in Asia, Europe and North America. We have also established a perfect system of talent fostering and international academic exchanges, providing the students with various opportunities to enrich their knowledge, study abroad and cultivate their scientific research ability.

The School of Microelectronics will also effectively solve the biggest bottleneck of lacking high-end professionals for sustainable development of integrated circuit industry in Shenzhen as well as the Greater Bay Area. It will also provide strong support for the independent innovation and development of integrated circuit industry, especially AI technology, 3rd-Generation semiconductor technology and key core devices for future network communication.

Looking into the future, the school will follow the guide to become a national exemplary school of microelectronics, work hard, innovate and continuously strengthen our disciplines, strive to build the school into an important base for training top talent and high-level scientific research in microelectronics, and become a benchmarking project for the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao collaboration during the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

I would like to thank people from all walks of life at home and abroad who have been caring for and supporting the development of the school. Dear friends, let's join hands and march ahead to build the School of Microelectronics into a model of national exemplary schools of microelectronics with diligence and spirit!
