The Faculty of Integrated Circuits of Xidian University consists of the School of Microelectronics, the School of Integrated Circuits, and three national-level platforms including the State Key Laboratory of Wide Bandgap Semiconductor Devices and Integrated Technology, the National Engineering Research Center for Wide Bandgap Semiconductors, and the National Integrated Circuit Industry-Education Integration Innovation Platform. It is one of the earliest institutions in China to engage in the cultivation of microelectronics professionals and scientific research. It is also among the first batch of 9 national integrated circuit talent training bases and national demonstration microelectronics colleges. Currently, it has two first-level disciplines, namely "Electronic Science and Technology" and "Integrated Circuit Science and Engineering", and has achieved fruitful results in the cultivation of talents and scientific research innovation in the fields of compound semiconductor materials and devices research and development, analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit design, and integrated circuit computer-aided design.
Over the past six decades, the Faculty of Integrated Circuits has gathered a high-caliber teaching staff led by Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Hao Yue, with young experts of high-level as the backbone. Currently, it has 231 full-time teachers, among whom 35 are national-level talents and 29 are provincial-level experts. The faculty has established over ten national-level research and teaching platforms, including the only National Engineering Research Center for Wide Bandgap Semiconductor in the field of third-generation semiconductors in China and the only National Industry-Education Integration Innovation Platform for Integrated Circuits in the northwest region. It has won eight National Science and Technology Progress Awards and National Invention Awards, and produced a number of landmark achievements, propelling China's third-generation semiconductor electronic devices into the international leading ranks.
The School of Integrated Circuits currently offers doctoral and master's degree programs in the first-level disciplines of "Electronic Science and Technology" and "Integrated Circuit Science and Engineering", as well as doctoral and master's degree programs in the professional field of "Electronics and Information". It also has two undergraduate programs, "Microelectronics Science and Engineering" and "Integrated Circuit Design and Integrated System", both of which are among the first batch of national first-class undergraduate programs and are national quality engineering characteristic programs and provincial brand programs. On average, it enrolls about 500 undergraduate students and 700 postgraduate students each year. It is one of the largest units in China's universities in terms of the scale of integrated circuit talent cultivation and also one of the units with the highest level of talent cultivation. The one-time employment rate of both undergraduate and postgraduate students ranks among the top in the national microelectronics industry, with an undergraduate employment rate of over 96% and a postgraduate employment rate of 100%. More than 80% of the graduates go to leading units in the industry.
The Faculty of Integrated Circuits has vigorously implemented the internationalization development strategy, comprehensively built a global cooperation network, and strived to create a talent cultivation and scientific research platform with international competitiveness. It has systematically promoted a comprehensive international cooperation and exchange system, implemented the overseas high-level talent introduction program, and formed a diversified and open academic team. The faculty actively organizes various international academic conferences, establishing an academic dialogue platform that radiates globally, and significantly enhances the international status of the discipline. Through substantive cooperation such as jointly building laboratories with international renowned universities and conducting cross-border research projects, it has provided substantial impetus for the development of compound technical talents with a global perspective.
