The University of Arkansas’ High Density Electronics Center (HiDEC) is one of only a few working laboratories of its kind in the United States located on a university campus. Since its inception, HiDEC personnel have pursued a program of excellence in research and education, which has earned the program an international reputation.
HiDEC houses laboratories for thin film fabrication, low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) processing, electronic assembly, electrical characterization, and reliability testing.
