research projects
themes and objectives
Our research
efforts bridge various science and engineering disciplines, and are primarily
focused on the integration of synthetic nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes
and semiconductor nanowires, for novel electronic applications. They can
be divided into three major themes:
I. Nanoelectronics: Beyond
the Planar Si Scaling and Performance Limits
II. High Performance and
High Speed Flexible Electronics
III. Novel Device/Circuit
Concepts for Electronic Sensor (artificial nose) Applications
In order to realize
the above objectives, we (1) synthesize a spectrum of high quality nano-materials
with well defined structures and properties, (2) assemble and deposit them
at well defined locations, (3) characterize their fundamental physical properties,
and (4) finally, integrate them into functional devices and circuits for
a wide range of technological applications and explore their performance
limits. Integration of synthetic nanomateials for electronic applications
brings a new and exciting dimension to the field that may enable the realization
of new concepts unreachable by the conventional technologies.
