The Microelectronics Communications and Research Institute (MRCI) develops technology in microelectronics, communications, real-time software, and
electromagnetics to meet the needs of a vast array of industries and governmental agencies. The Institute is focused on cultivating expertise in several strategic technology sectors, with
applications in avionics, intelligent controls systems, VLSI, and space exploration. Research is currently funded by companies such as Hewlett-Packard, Boeing, DoD, NASA-Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, NFS, Micron, and others.
With more than 25 networked Hewlett-Packard workstations and numerous PC's and peripherals, the MRCI strives to maintain the latest computer hardware and
software available. Our analog development and test laboratories are equipped with a Sun-based IMS Logic Master XL 60 IC Tester, as well as a general assortment of semiconductor parameter
analyzers, pattern generators, and instrumentation, along with a Microwave lab with a 40 GHz network analyzer.
The MRCI is also a repository for current CAD software from both commercial and academic sectors, some of which includes Cadence Design Systems Software, Mentor
Graphics Falcon Framework, Exemplar Leonardo and Galileo Extreme, Mathworks Matlab and Simulink, (HSpice), Microsim PSpice, Xilinx Alliance (M1), Altera MaxPlus2, Silvaco, Virtual Wafer Fab,
Alliance, Magic, PICA, Switcap, Maxwells HDSS, Fieldview and much more.
The main office of the MRCI is located at the University of Idaho in Moscow, and has the necessary infrastructure to support the research-oriented demands of its
contract sponsors. Specialized laboratories in the MRCI focus on communications and information engineering, advanced computational electromagnetics, intelligent systems, and analog
microelectronics. Additionally, the MRCI has established a branch in Boise, Idaho to provide more direct interaction with the technology-driven industries thriving in the Treasure
Valley.
