High Performance Logic Devices

What you will do

You will:

• Develop high-performance 2D and 1D field-effect transistors based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for advanced CMOS logic applications.
• Investigate single-crystalline 2D channels using electrochemical exfoliation and direct growth techniques to enable scalable, high-quality channel formation.
• Design and fabricate high-performance device technologies, including contact engineering with metal/semimetal interlayers and advanced gate stack engineering.
• Develop high-density and uniformly aligned CNT channels using dimension-limited self-alignment (DLSA) processes to improve carbon nanotube FET (CNFET) performance and uniformity.
• Explore doping strategies based on novel device structures and materials to achieve stable n-type and p-type CNT transistors, compatible with gate-all-around (GAA) processes.
• Implement advanced logic device architectures such as gate-all-around (GAA) and complementary FET (CFET) structures, incorporating full-coverage high-k dielectrics, underlap gate designs, and - stacked transistor and metal interconnect integration.
• Evaluate device performance and scalability for logic applications by translating device-level innovations into logic structures compatible with standard cell height scaling.

Who we are looking for

• Candidates interested in materials-focused research on low-dimensional systems (2D and 1D), with a background in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or related fields.
• Candidates interested in device- and logic-oriented transistor research, with a background in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, including coursework in semiconductor devices and integrated circuits.
• Experience with, or strong motivation to learn, TCAD simulations for transistor operation and device-level analysis.
• A strong sense of research responsibility and ethics, with commitment to data integrity and reproducibility.
• Ability to define research problems and develop logical solution strategies, and to actively participate in technical discussions.
• A detail-oriented attitude toward experimental work and data analysis, with an emphasis on systematic documentation and physical interpretation of results.
