RESEARCH INTERESTS
The fabrication of advanced semiconductor devices requires
an understanding of the basic science underlying each process
step and its connection with device and circuit performance. Developing
this understanding requires an unusually interdisciplinary approach,
bringing together ideas from physics, chemistry, materials science,
and a variety of engineering disciplines. My research has been
directed at exploring this relation between process technology
and semiconductor device performance. Past work has included studies
of polysilicon fuses and antifuses; polysilicon emitter bipolar
transistors; thin film transistors for flat panel displays; and
high temperature superconductors on non-lattice-matched substrates.
Much of my present research is related to silicon integrated circuit
technology. I have been exploring the epitaxial growth by chemical
vapor deposition of germanium-silicon alloys, which have applications
in heterojunction bipolar transistors, buried channel field effect
transistors, and far-infrared optical detectors. Another research
project concerns the development of advanced diagnostic and control
strategies for semiconductor processes. Other recently initated
research has been on various aspects of wide-gap semiconductors.
This work includes the application of MOCVD-grown AlGaN alloys
to ultraviolet detectors and also studies of the surfaces of MBE-grown
GaN. My research has a strong experimental component, and has
frequently involved collaborations with other departments or other
areas within Electrical and Computer Engineering.
TEACHING INTERESTS
An engineering education should give students an understanding
of "how things work" which is based on fundamental science;
the ability to perform engineering analyses; and, most important,
the ability to approach real problems which lack unique, closed-form
solutions. I have worked to incorporate these elements in my undergraduate
teaching. My specific teaching interests at the undergraduate
level include semiconductor device physics and analog circuit
design. Innovations in these undergraduate courses include the
implementation of an all-design laboratory for analog circuits
and the development of a new course on field effect devices and
their applications. The latter course is novel in its applications
emphasis, the inclusion of new material on imaging and display
devices, and the use of Mathcad as an integral part of the course.
I have written a textbook for this course that will be published
by Prentice Hall in 1998. I have also contributed to the design
of an Electronic Materials minor, and now serve as co-director
of this program. At the graduate level, I have taught a variety
of courses on advanced semiconductor devices and semiconductor
process technology. Particularly in upper level courses, I have
emphasized the connection between process technology and device
performance and the strong interdisciplinary nature of these fields.
I am broadly interested in the continuing evolution and re-invention
of the ECE curriculum. Engineering curricula are not static; rather,
they continuously change in response to internal forces and external
forces. I am interested in developing joint undergraduate programs
with other departments (our Electronic Materials minor presently
in place is an example of such a program) and also in issues relating
to curriculum design and accreditation.
