Quantum Game Club
Hello
Students,
We are establishing a new effort on quantum education and programming in collaboration with Microsoft Azure. The effort is led by Prof. Mahdi Hosseini
in ECE. If you are an ECE, Physics or CS student with an interest in quantum computing and quantum algorithms please consider joining the Quantum Game Club. As a member of the Quantum Game Club you will learn how to design your own quantum algorithms. You
will use these skills to develop games that will be run on real quantum hardware! No experience or prior knowledge required. We will provide you with resources to begin developing your own algorithms. Research credits and Innovation Prizes will be available
to engaged students.
The first meeting of the Quantum Game Club is on September 23rd from 6-7pm. Please join to learn more.
If you are interested, please contact Hal Owens (owens155@purdue.edu) for the link to our first
meeting.
NSAC Coffee Hour
In-person Coffee Hour talk: Birck 1st floor atrium every Friday 2pm.
During the talk, one student speaker will present his/her recent research. Individually packed snacks and coffee will be provided to help us digest the talk
NSAC Fab Forum
In-person Fab Forum: Birck 1st floor atrium every Tuesday 2pm.
During the event, students can come and discuss their issues in fabrication and experiments. Individually packed snacks and coffee will be provided to help us digest the conversation.
Birck Nanotechnology Center Advanced Capabilities
Themis Z Aberration Corrected STEM/TEM
Features:
- Atomic resolution down to 65 pm in both TEM and STEM mode as the column contains a probe and image corrector
- Monochromatic gun + EELS spectrometer, which combine deliver an energy resolution of 120 meV at 80kV – great for plasmons and oxidation state studies
- SuperX EDX detector, high signal to noise ration due to a 4-quadrant detector set up
- Flexible high tension range: 300, 200, 80, 60kV. Lower kVs are ideal for electron-beam sensitive samples
Location: BRK 1269A

Graduate Research Assistantship Opportunity:
Deposited Gate Oxides for SiC MOSFETs
Graduate research assistantships are available in the area of silicon carbide metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) devices. SiC is a wide bandgap semiconductor with a high critical field, making it an exciting material for power electronic devices. SiC MOSFETs are
now commercially available, but do not yet achieve their full potential. Our group is approaching this problem from several directions, including a new device trench MOSFET geometries inspired by modern FinFETs and alternative gate insulator fabrication methods.
Research activities will include fabrication and characterization of SiC MOS capacitors and MOSFETs with gate oxides formed by thermal oxidation, atomic layer deposition (ALD), and other methods. The student will gain a detailed understanding of the physics
of the MOS interface and will learn various methods of characterizing devices, including MOS CV analysis, interface state density and carrier mobility.
