AIT-CCNAA Cooperative Research: Structure of Semiconductor Surfaces

这是威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校的George Keulks博士与台湾中科院物理研究所方中山博士合作进行的为期三年的合作研究项目，由AIT.CCNAA合作科学计划赞助。这项提案是由美国国家科学基金会凝聚态理论项目主任戴维·唐博士提交的。由于NSF不允许之前的项目官员在该人离职后一年内与基金会进行谈判，乔治·科克斯博士取代了唐博士，担任这项提议的私人助理。这项建议计划研究金属半导体界面的形成和随后的半导体衬底的生长。台湾中央研究院物理研究所已投资100多万美元收购STAT.OF.THART超高真空光谱仪器，这些仪器对于测试童氏半导体结构模型的实验测量至关重要。目前，台湾物理研究所是少数几个可以进行这种测量的地方之一，也是唯一一个对金属佐治亚州进行实验测量的地方。这项研究可以扩大我们对表面结构的理解，这在开发新的和先进的材料方面是必不可少的，许多材料已经被用于制造计算机芯片和其他电子产品。

This is a three.year collaborative Research project between Dr. George Keulks, University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee and Dr. C. S. Fang of Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica, Taiwan, sponsored by the AIT.CCNAA Cooperative Science Program. This proposal was submitted by Dr. David Tong, who was a NSF Program Director for the Condensed Matter Theory Program. Because NSF does not allow previous program officers to negotiate with the Foundation within a year of the person's departure, Dr. George Keulks replaces Dr. Tong as a P. I. for this proposal. This proposal plans to study the formation of metal semiconductor interfaces and subsequent growth of semiconductor substrates. The Institute of Physics Academia Sinica in Taiwan has invested more than 1 million dollars in the acquisition of state.of.the.art ultra.high vacuum spectroscopic instruments, which are essential in making experimental measurements for testing Tong's semiconductor structure model. At present, Taiwan's Institute of Physics is one of the few places where such >measurements can be made and only place which makes experimental >measurements on the metal, Ga. This study can expand our understanding of surface structure, which is essential in the development of new and advanced materials, many which have been used for making computer chips and other electronics.
