Electronic Materials Processing

Our research interests are in the area of the thin film synthesis. Deposition techniques include plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), CVD, sputtering, and electrodeposition. A central theme is developing novel processing techniques that impart nanoscale control while retaining high rate for the efficient synthesis of mesoscale structures (50 - 1000 nm). Thin films are ubiquitous in advanced technology, and the materials we synthesize serve as integral components in photovoltaics, membranes, opto-electronics, electrochromics, thin film batteries, functional coatings, and catalysis. Investigation of these deposition processes is guided by detailed reactive flow modeling and experimental measures of both gas-phase and surface kinetics. In-situ process diagnostics and ex-situ materials characterization are used to gain a fundamental understanding of the process–structure–performance relationships in these systems.
