Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory. Providing targeted metrology support to the nation's electronics and electrical sectors...National Institute of Standards and Technologygo to NIST home page
The Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory provides the fundamental basis for all electrical measurements in the United States. In close consultation with industry, we tailor research and calibration programs to meet the most critical measurement needs for the manufacture and operation of electrical and electronic systems, including semiconductor, magnetic, radio frequency, microwave, optical, optoelectronic, and superconducting equipment; flat-panel displays; electronic instrumentation; and electrical power apparatus and systems.

Our vision is to be the world's best source of fundamental and industry-referenced measurement methods and physical standards for electrotechnology. Our mission is to strengthen the U.S. economy and improve the quality of life by providing measurement science and technology and by advancing standards primarily for the electronics and electrical industries.

We also do basic research to develop quantum standards that enable more accurate maintenance of the fundamental electrical units. We also conduct studies on the new measurements needed for the successful development of promising future technologies such as high temperature superconductors, quantum mechanical devices, and hybrid computer chips that utilize both electronic and lightwave signals.

In addition, we manage metrology development work across NIST in response to the needs of mainstream silicon semiconductor device manufacturers. We also apply science and technology to solve key problems of the criminal justice communities.
