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

这项为期三年的美法材料研究合作奖的参与者包括列昂尼德·茨贝斯科夫、罗切斯特大学的研究生和本科生、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。该项目由美国国家科学基金会和法国国家科学研究中心（CNRS）联合资助，重点研究硅量子点电子学。合作研究工作涉及理论家（里尔），材料科学家和应用物理学家（罗切斯特），以及工业专家（摩托罗拉）。罗彻斯特小组将进行纳米晶硅超晶格中的载流子输运实验和设备原型开发。这将由里尔对纳米级物体和设备的理论研究补充。摩托罗拉集团将作为这个项目的工业导师，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制造线上。

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.
