CMOS Reliability and Advanced Devices Group

Welcome

The CMOS Reliability and Advanced Devices Group performs research and development for the metrology, test structures, and reference materials required for CMOS and Beyond devices and their constituent materials.

THE GROUP

  • emphasizes metal-oxide-semiconductor devices as well as future replacement devices such as molecular electronic and quantum electronic devices.
  • emphasizes starting materials, thin films, dopants, and materials for future devices such as molecular layers and quantum dots.
  • collaborates with the semiconductor and related electronics industries, universities, standards groups, and other government agencies to conduct research and achieve technology transfer.
Programs/Projects

Metrology for Advanced Bioelectronics—Using a a "More Than Moore" approach, we are developing electronic chip-based technology for DNA and protein analysis for industry. This research will help revolutionize health care, …
