Professor Sabre Kais would like to announce CHM 696 Syllabus – Spring 2018

Graduate Research Assistantship Opportunity:

Deposited Gate Oxides for SiC MOSFETs

A graduate research assistantship is 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 geometry inspired by modern FinFETs, the adaptation of IGBTs and super-junctions for use in SiC

devices, as well as alternative gate insulator fabrication methods.  If interested send email to morisett@purdue.edu

Purdue United Way

We are 13 days to victory! I can’t even believe how fast this has flown by, it seems like YESTERDAY we were at Kick-Off. Let us keep going and finish strong! We are not there yet, but I know we are all doing our best as we push to November 15th!

Online pledging is available again by visiting: www.uwlafayette.org/purdue/campaign then clicking on “Purdue Employees Give Now” button.  If you have any questions, Sheryl Willison is Senior Chair for the Office of the Executive Vice President for Research and Partnerships. 

 

Purdue has started a new way for you to tell us if you have an issue in the building.  It is called “Fix It”.  You can report any issues and the request will go to your building deputy. 'Fix it' , a web based portal used by the Purdue community to submit a notification.
