AIT-CCNAA Cooperative Research: Structure of Semiconductor Surfaces

这是3。美国威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校George Keulks博士与台湾中央研究院物理研究所方正生博士的年度合作研究项目，由美国在台协会赞助。中国科学院科学合作计划。本提案由David Tong博士提交，他是NSF凝聚态理论项目的项目主任。由于美国国家科学基金会不允许前任项目官员在离职后一年内与基金会进行谈判，因此George Keulks博士代替Tong博士担任该提案的私家侦探。本提案计划研究金属半导体界面的形成和半导体衬底的后续生长。台湾中央研究院物理研究所已投资一百多万美元购置最先进的仪器。高真空光谱仪器，这是进行测试Tong的半导体结构模型的实验测量所必需的。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Ga进行实验性>测量的地方。这项研究可以扩展我们对表面结构的理解，这对于开发新型和先进材料至关重要，其中许多已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.
