Materials research and screening for future nano electronics with new characterization tools
Due to the scaling of the ULSI, the gate stack materials have been the most major problems. Instead of presently used HfO2, materials exploration for the next generation has already started to find an high-k dielectric with direct contact to Si. Also the work function tuning for gate materials are required to realize nano CMOS with lower gate voltage. Related these requirements, new characterization tools must be developed. Also materials fusion where molecules are used the MOS structure can be an innovation for nano device. In this talk, our strategy for future nano electronics will be shown.

Design and Synthesis of Materials for Energy Applications
Transition metal oxides are the material of choice for many energy applications due to their potential for both redox activity and chemical stability. The Khalifah group research activities are based on the design and synthesis of complex oxide materials that will enable either an improved activity for or improved understanding of energy-related processes. Some examples of recent work in semiconductor solar water splitting (photoelectrochemical production of H2 fuel), oxoanion battery cathode materials, and fuel cell electrocatalysis, will be presented with an emphasis on our efforts in crystal growth and the tuning of energy levels.
