Research Interests
My main research interest is in the area of solid state physics, which is related to many of the most recent advances in semiconductor physics and electronic technology such as;
? P-type oxide thin film transistors (TFTs).
? Transparent semiconductor oxides thin films
? Phonons interactions with electrons and Plasmons.
? Mobility in two-Dimensional structures.
? Structural & Electrical properties of Nitride Semiconductors.
Experimental Training At Kaust
During my sabbatical period in KAUST (Sep/11-Mar/13), I have undergone official training sessions in the following training courses:
1- Laboratory Safety training 2- Cleanroom Safety training
In addition, I have become an authorized user of many pieces of advanced equipment. Specifically:
- Surface Profilers
- Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffractometers
- Annealing Furnaces
- Raman Spectroscopy
- Sputtering Systems
- E-Beam Evaporators
- Probe Station for Electronic Device Characterization, including transistors
- Device Fabrication including photolithography,(spin coating, mask aligning & resist development), patterning, and electrical contact deposition.
