Introduction Scaling and integration of complementary metaloxide-semiconductor devices have made great development in the pursuit of higher performance and lower power consumption. Elemental devices of field effect transistors have been going through a transition from planar to three-dimensional structures for overcoming the physical limitation of thickness for the gate insulator. However, due ...

The surface and interfacial analysis of silicon oxide film on silicon substrate is particularly crucial in the nano-electronic devices. For this purpose, series of experiments have been demonstrated to grow oxide film on Si (111) substrate. Then these films have been used to study the structure of the film by using X-ray photo emission spectroscopy (XPS) technique. The obtained results indicate...

Polycrystalline films are used in a wide array of microand nano-scale devices, for electronic, mechanical, magnetic, photonic and chemical functions. Increasingly, the properties, performance, and reliability of films in these systems depend on nano-scale structure. In collaborative research with a number of SMA Fellows, Associates, and students, our group is carrying out research focused on pr...

The modeling of nano-electronic devices is a cost-effective approach for optimizing the semiconductor device performance and guiding fabrication technology.

NESS designed to study charge transport in contemporary novel ultra-scaled devices. order simul...

A magnetic vortex structure stabilized in a micron or nano-sized ferromagnetic disk has a strong potential as a unit cell for spin-based nano-electronic devices because of negligible magnetostatic interaction and superior thermal stability. Moreover, various intriguing fundamental physics such as bloch point reversal and symmetry breaking can be induced in the dynamical behaviors in the magneti...

In this paper, we studied heat transfer properties of a single tin dioxide nanobelt using non-contact high resolution thermoreflectance imaging technique. Temperature difference across the nanobelt was created by attaching its both ends to a microfabricated thin film heater and sensor pair. High resolution thermal images of the nanobelt and thin film devices were obtained at variant pulsing cur...

Surface, interface and bulk properties of artificially structured, new magnetic materials play a fundamental role in modern science and technology. From thin films to patterned magnetic nano-structures, these magnetic materials and systems can be utilized in many electrical and electronic devices. Using highly surface sensitive techniques, electron capture spectroscopy (ECS), angleand energy-re...

Our paper reviews the use of conductive polymer composite materials in various applications for semi conductive, static-dissipative, anti-corrosive, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and stealth composite coatings. The composite consists of conductive fillers and the insulating polymer network. The composite becomes electrically conductive as the filler content exceeds a certain crit...
