Two-Dimensional Materials and Devices for Energy-Efficient Computing
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Dave Estrada
In this project, the participants will work on the microfabrication of two-dimensional materials based transistors for low-power computing applications. Participants will gain skills in chemical vapor deposition of two-dimensional films, Raman spectroscopy, and photolithography. A key project outcome is benchmarking the electron mobility and contact resistance of novel 2D materials based transistors to reports in the literature. Prior microfabrication skills are not necessary, though familiarity with materials characterization techniques are desirable. Depending on progress, participants may have the opportunity to contribute to development of two-dimensional material based inks and printed device characterization through collaborations with Penn State University and Rice University as part of the NSF ATOMIC Center.
