U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Silicon Quantum Dot Electronics

这个为期三年的美法合作材料研究奖的获奖者包括罗切斯特大学的研究生和本科生Leonid Tsybeskov，摩托罗拉材料技术实验室的研究人员，以及法国里尔电子和微电子研究所的Christophe Delerue。该项目在国家科学基金会和法国国家科学研究中心(CNRS)的联合计划下得到支持，重点是硅量子点电子产品。合作研究工作涉及理论家(Lille)、材料科学家和应用物理学家(Rochester)以及工业专家(摩托罗拉)。罗切斯特团队将就纳米硅超晶格中的载流子传输和器件原型开发进行实验。这将得到里尔关于纳米尺度物体和装置的理论研究的补充。摩托罗拉集团将作为该计划的行业导师，专注于制造和微电子标准的兼容性。此外，摩托罗拉的科学家将帮助建立硅量子结构计量学，这是一种表征技术，最终将从大学实验室转移到工业生产线上。

9909264TsybeskovThis three-year award for U.S.-France collaboration in materials research involves Leonid Tsybeskov, graduate and undergraduate students at the University of Rochester, researchers at the Material Technology Laboratory of Motorola, and Christophe Delerue at the Institute for Electronic and Microelectronic Research in Lille, France. The project, supported under the joint program of the National Science Foundation and the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), is focused on silicon quantum dot electronics. The collaborative research effort involves theorists (Lille), materials scientists and applied physicists (Rochester), and industrial experts (Motorola). The Rochester group will conduct experiments on carrier transport in nanocrystalline Si superlattices and device prototype development. This will be complemented by theoretical investigations in Lille on nanoscale objects and devices. The Motorola group will serve as industrial mentor to this program and focus on the compatibility of manufacturing and microelectronic standards. In addition, scientists at Motorola will help establish Si quantum structure metrology, a characterization technique, which eventually will be transferred from a university laboratory to an industrial fabrication line.
