U.S.-Japan Planning Visit: Collaborations in Functional Ceramic Thin Film Research

该奖项支持纽约州立大学宾厄姆顿分校赵正贤教授和他的两名团队成员(博士生和博士后研究员)的美日计划访问。外国主持人都是教授。东京工业大学的杰弗里·克罗斯和津崎和夫。主要目的是确定关键的研究领域并找到可用的资源，以在高k(介电常数)氧化物薄膜领域组织一个国际研究小组。教授们。克罗斯和Shinozaki多年来一直致力于电陶瓷薄膜的加工和表征。结合他们的专业知识和赵S教授对微结构设计的兴趣，拟议的研究将探索使材料能够用于当前的微电子创新。参与这两个机构的学生和研究人员将受益于预期研究和教育的国际经验，以及合作研究小组高度专业化和互补性的专业知识。在日本期间，Cho？S教授团队还将有机会访问其他大学、国家实验室和工业部门，以获得更多的合作机会。通过这次首次访问建立的合作研究将促进长期的国际合作伙伴关系，并为美国学生和研究人员创造大量研究和教育机会。

This award supports a US-Japan planning visit by Prof. Junghyun Cho and his two team members (doctoral student and postdoctoral researcher) of State University of New York at Binghamton. The foreign hosts are Profs. Jeffrey Cross and Kazuo Shinozaki of Tokyo Institute of Technology. The primary purpose is to identify key research areas and locate available resources to organize an international research team in the area of high k (dielectric constant) oxide films. Profs. Cross and Shinozaki have been working on processing and characterization of electroceramic films for many years. With their expertise combined with Prof. Cho?s interest in microstructure design, the proposed research will explore enabling materials for current innovations in microelectronics.Participating students and researchers at both institutions will benefit from international experiences of the intended research and education, along with the highly specialized, complementary expertise of the collaborating research groups. While in Japan, Prof. Cho?s group will also have a chance to visit other universities, national laboratories, and industrial sectors for additional collaboration opportunities. The collaborative research, once established through this initial visit, will catalyze the long-term international partnership and produce numerous research and educational opportunities for US students and researchers.
