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 more information or to apply, send resume and contact information to: Dallas Morisette Research Assistant Professor morisett@purdue.edu Opening in OxideMEMS lab Sunil Bhave's OxideMEMS Lab <https://engineering.purdue.edu/oxidemems/publications.html> explores inter-domain coupling in Opto-mechanical, Spin-Acoustic and Atom-MEMS devices. PhD, Postdoctoral and Research Associate positions are available in these areas: * Superconducting qubit and cryo-CMOS circuits * Resonators and switches * MEMS-engine for LIDAR * Piezo-on-nitride transducers for atom-mechanics Expertise in many and most of Microfabrication, PiezoMEMS, Photonics, Quantum Mechanics, Microwave circuits, PCB design, ADS/HFSS, Comsol, Python and Labview is required.

Provide FIB services - TEM sample preparation, patterning, cross section imaging and EDX chemical analysis - to BNC and industrial users using the FIB Helios 4G UX 2. Manage the reception of samples and analysis instructions from Birck users 3. Training new users in the FIB Helios 4G 4. Align the FIB monthly and make sure the system is working properly. 5. Provide assistance to users remotely in case an issue arises. 6. Manage the training and services request for FIB in Ilab and provide metrics every week. 7. Training new users in the Nanomill ion polisher, PIPS, and mechanical polisher. 8. Have great disposition, excellent communication skills, and ability to solve problems when providing services or trainings 9. Provide maintenance and support to the EM instrumentation 10. Prepare material for promoting the EM core in social media. Because of the nature of our Industrial clients, the successful candidate needs to have export control clearance. Also, hours could be negotiable but the successful candidate needs to be available from Tuesday until Saturday to work at BNC. Please send your resume and two letters of recommendation to rdiazri@purdue.edu<mailto:rdiazri@purdue.edu>. Refinishing hallway floors Please note that grad students will not have access to their office until 10:30AM these days.
