In 2015, it was approved to establish a national demonstration microelectronics school. The college now has a doctorate (master) degree authorization point for the second-level discipline of Integrated Circuits and Systems, a master's degree authorization point for the first-level discipline of Electronic Science and Technology, and a master's degree authorization point for the New Generation of Electronic Information Technology and Integrated Circuit Engineering. The undergraduate majors set up by the college include Electronic Science and Technology, Microelectronic Science and Engineering, Integrated Circuit Design and Integrated System, among which Electronic Science and Technology, Integrated Circuit Design and Integrated System are national first-class undergraduate majors, and Microelectronic Science and Engineering is Anhui Provincial first-class undergraduate major. At present, there are 508 graduate students and 1417 undergraduate students in the college. According to the "Report on Talent Development of China's Integrated Circuit Industry (2021-2022 Edition)" issued by the 2022 World Integrated Circuit Conference, Hefei University of Technology ranked third in China in the statistics of graduation institutions of job seekers with bachelor degree or above in integrated circuit industry from May 2021 to April 2022.

School of Microelectronics has successively undertaken over 80 scientific research projects and more than 100 research projects commissioned by enterprises including National Key Research and Development Program of China, National Natural Science Foundation Major Instruments, General Program, Youth Fund Project, Anhui Provincial Major Science and Technology Project and Anhui Provincial Natural Science Foundation. It has won multiple awards such as the Second Prize of National Science and Technology Progress Award, the Third Prize of National Science and Technology Invention Award, and the Provincial and Ministerial Science and Technology Progress Award. In the past five years, teachers and students of the college have published more than 100 papers every year in important international academic journals such as IEEE Transactions, Advanced Materials and Physical Review, Chinese core journals, or important international and domestic academic conferences, and authorized invention patents, integrated circuit layout designs, etc. more than 20 items, which have formed a certain academic influence.

The college actively cooperates with enterprises, and has successively carried out industry-university-research cooperation with Changxin Memory Technologies, Nexchip Semiconductor Corporation, No. 38 and 58 Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation，No. 214 Research Institute of China Ordnance Industry, Brite Semiconductor, Macrosilicon Technology, Lontium Semiconductor Technology and other enterprises. Multiple achievements have been applied in national and local key projects and national defense projects. The college has also established exchange and cooperation relationships with several well-known universities in countries such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Japan, and the Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan regions of China, conducting cross-cultural exchanges and practical activities, as well as various academic exchange activities.

Research base

The college currently has 4 provincial and ministerial scientific research platforms including the Ministry of Education Integrated Circuit Design Online Cooperation Research Center, Anhui MEMS Engineering Technology Research Center, Anhui Special System Chip Integration Technology Engineering Research Center, and Anhui Provincial Integrated Circuit Industry Common Technology Research Center.
