Welcome Sangeeta Abrol Starting on Monday, October 25th we have a new Lead Administrative Assistant, Sangeeta Abrol. Sangeeta is taking over the duties of Jaime Turner who took a new position supporting the department head of Biochemistry. Sangeeta comes to us from Lockheed Martin where she was the Sr. Administrative Assistant to one of the Directors. She has also had a variety of experiences as an administrator in the banking industry, AOL, and for consulting companies. She will be located in the director's suite in Birck, and her email is abrols@purdue.edu<mailto:abrols@purdue.edu>. Please warmly welcome Sangeeta to Purdue and to the Birck team! 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.

Location: Indiana Manufacturing Institute (1105 Challenger Avenue, West Lafayette, IN) Contact: Nick Glassmaker (nglassma@purdue.edu<mailto:nglassma@purdue.edu>) Please visit the Birck Wiki<https://wiki.itap.purdue.edu/display/BNCWiki/> to learn about the wide array of fabrication and characterization equipment at the facility RA Position 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.
