Birck Nanotechnology Center Advanced Capabilities

[IMG_1022.JPG] Omicron Surface Analysis Cluster
Features:

  *   Multi-tool instrument equipped with state-of-art UHV STM/AFM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), high-resolution energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED).
  *   Ideal for Growth of 2D materials and ultra thin films under UHV: e-beam evaporator (2 sources evaporate simultaneously),  several thermal evaporators (can be replaced; currently: Zn, Te, Bi, Se) and sputtering deposition source for high-melting temperature metals (can be replaced; currently: Ta).
  *   Surface cleaning, functionalization and doping under UHV: atomic hydrogen source, argon sputtering, gas manifolds for UHV ALD, etc.
  *   Full control on the surface chemical composition.
  *   Deep characterization of the structural properties and electron states of a sample without exposure to air under UHV;.

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.
