Materials analysis for emerging memory and logic devices.

At the intersection of condensed matter physics, semiconductor technology, and materials science, with a focus on nanoelectronics. We study fundamental processes that govern the operation of emerging devices, using nanoscale analytical instruments and correlative metrology to understand device physics, reliability, and failures.

We strive to understands the interplay between electronic and structural properties in atomically-thin materials. We research for efficient screening methods in support of the process development of 2D semiconductors-based FETs.

This is pursued by a combination of microscopy and spectroscopy techniques, with emphasis on electrical scanning probe microscopies.

To understands the complex interplay between device physics and materials we often customize, or push, the limits of existing experimental methods. The co-localized analysis between device and materials is pursued via state-of-the-art instrumentation (in situ, operando) and by merging multiple analysis methods to gain access to multiple readouts in a correlative metrology analysis flow.
