Announcement
Mask Protocols in the Cleanroom
We have observed various masking practices in the cleanroom recently so as a reminder for those using our Birck cleanroom, please continue to follow our COVID mask protocols. Masking requirements are either to use an M3 N95 mask by itself
or use a standard mask under the cleanroom veil. If you have any questions please contact a staff member.
Thanks,
Ron

Graduate Research Assistantship Opportunity:
Deposited Gate Oxides for SiC MOSFETs
Up to two 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.

for deciphering self-organization, morphogenesis, and growth in cancer biology; and the anisotropic mechanical properties of developmental and mature inner ear sensory and non-sensory epithelial tissues using a novel noncontact AFM approach.
This position will work at the intersection of biophysics, engineering, mathematics, and molecular/cellular/developmental biology
to study the mechanobiological regulation of cells and tissues during development and disease. Furthermore, will work on development of new Atomic Force Microscopy-based technologies to study fast multiparametric and multidimensional cellular and tissue processes,
advances the state of the art AFM imaging methods for high spati-temporal and quantitative nanomechanical mapping. In addition, will work closely with collaborating cell biologist, geneticists, engineers, and byophysists within and outside the NIH.
