Emerging Electronics Laboratory

Our research involves the study of theoretical and numerical problems related to nano-scale semiconductor devices and structures. Some of our current research includes:

MOS scaling problems associated with surface phonons (due to high-k gate materials), bulk phonons and gate/source/drain plasmons.

Quantum transport via semi-classical monte carlo simulations as well as full band quantum mechanical methods are of interest.

Solutions to numerical issues dealing with 3-D simulation and parallization are investigated.

Physical information theory and its implications for the limits to technology scaling and nanoelectronic information processing.
