We have done well on the mid-term exam or Exam 1. I start to distribute back the Exam 1 during the lecture time. The week of March 17 is Spring Break. We don't have lectures. I have a business trip in the week of March 24, so that we don't lecture either. The lecture time in the week of March 24 is "compensated" by the discussion session scheduled on March 12.
We plan to have discussion session 3 on April 2 and discussion session 4 on April 9 all Wednesday 7:00pm-9:00pm by zoom meeting. The suggested topics are following. Please choose the one you like to present: Session 3 Advanced Si technologies (A) high-k dielectric (Mike Joseph) (B) FinFET technology (C) Gate-all-around FET technology (D) Vertically Stacked Nanosheet FET technology. Session 4 Adavnced Surface Characterization Techniques (E) STM (F) AFM (G) TEM (H) AFM-based thermal measurement (Ram). We still use first come first get. Please e-mail me your preference. Everyone must present once. This is mandatory. Thanks!
