Professors DasGupta & Bagnall
All are invited to attend the special guest seminars given by Professor Nandita DasGupta from India and Professor Darren Bagnall from ECS Southampton, on Wednesday 25th of May at 14.30 in 7/3027.
(1) ‘Research of the Microelectronics and MEMs Laboratory at IIT Madras’
Department of Electrical Engineering I.I.T. Madras, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA.
The overview seminar will outline the major activities of our research group - broadly classified into seven areas:
- Design
- Fabrication and Characterization of Semiconductor Devices
- MEMS
- Simulation and Modelling of Semiconductor Devices
- Optimization and Development of Unit Process Steps
- GaN LEDs
- Photonics and Nanoelectronic Devices
I have chosen a few representative research problems covering these areas to highlight our significant achievements. Product development is also an important focus of our group and some of the products developed by us will also be discussed.
Nandita DasGupta received her B.E. degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India in 1982, M.Tech and Ph.D from I.I.T. Madras in 1984 and 1988 respectively. She was awarded Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship in 1991 and spent one year in Germany doing Post-doctoral research in the area of Surface Passivation of Compound Semiconductors. She has been a Faculty member in the Department of Electrical Engineering, I.I.T. Madras since 1993 and is currently a Professor. Her research interest is in the area of Silicon and Compound Semiconductor Technology and Modelling as well as MEMS. She has nearly one hundred research publications in International Journals and Proceedings of International Conferences and has co-authored a book on Semiconductor Devices – Modelling & Technology
(2) ‘Innovative electronics, optoelectronics and photovoltaics in the Southampton Nanofabrication Centre’
School of Electronics and Computer Science at University of Southampton
The Southampton Nanofabrication Centre is a state-of-the-art facility for microfabrication and high-spec nanofabrication, as well as a wide range of characterisation capabilities. With uniquely broad technologies, combining traditional and novel top down fabrication with state-of-the-art bottom up fabrication, it develops and produces a wide range of devices in diverse fields such as electronics, nanotechnology and bio-nanotechnology and incorporates them into an equally comprehensive array of nano- and micro-systems.
The characterisation capability offers a similarly extensive catalogue of microscopes and test gear, from nanometre resolution scanning microscopes to electrical, magnetic and RF analysis. This talk will highlight recent work in MEMs, graphine electronics and photovoltaics devices.
Coffee and biscuits will be served from 14:15.
