 NSAC Coffee Hour

In-person Coffee Hour talk: Birck 1st floor atrium every Friday 2pm.

During the talk, one student speaker will present his/her recent research. Individually packed snacks and coffee will be provided to help us digest the talk



NSAC Fab Forum

In-person Fab Forum: Birck 1st floor atrium every Tuesday 2pm.

During the event, students can come and discuss their issues in fabrication and experiments. Individually packed snacks and coffee will be provided to help us digest the conversation.

Purdue Intramural Indoor Volleyball


Purdue intramural indoor volleyball is back in mid-October, and the NSAC volleyball team will be participating in the intramurals.

Please fill the form if you are interested in playing for the NSAC Volleyball team.

RA Position


Graduate Research Assistantship Opportunity:
Deposited Gate Oxides for SiC MOSFETs

Graduate research assistantships are available in the area of silicon carbide metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) devices. SiC is a wide bandgap semiconductor with a high critical field, making it an exciting material for power electronic devices. SiC MOSFETs are now commercially available, but do not yet achieve their full potential. Our group is approaching this problem from several directions, including a new device trench MOSFET geometries inspired by modern FinFETs and alternative gate insulator fabrication methods.

Research activities will include fabrication and characterization of SiC MOS capacitors and MOSFETs with gate oxides formed by thermal oxidation, atomic layer deposition (ALD), and other methods. The student will gain a detailed understanding of the physics of the MOS interface and will learn various methods of characterizing devices, including MOS CV analysis, interface state density and carrier mobility.

For more information or to apply, send resume and contact information to:
