Synopsis
My research interests are in the areas of electron device fabrication, with a special emphasis on the use of scanning tunneling microscope (STM) as a lithographic tool, and high-field transport in semiconductors, with recent emphasis on hot carrier injection into insulating layers and its effect upon the reliability of these insulators.
