Abstract
Information processing and energy constitute two major growing needs of our modern society. This talk presents the frontier of nanotechnology research at IBM in addressing these issues using nanowire semiconductor device. For computing, nanowire transistor represents the ultimate-miniaturized transistor, the basic building blocks of future microprocessors. In green energy application, nanowire structures can be deployed as solar cell that can enhance the performance of low cost solar cell materials. The talk will present the basic concepts, experimental realization, and electrical characteristics of these nanowire devices.
Who is the guest lecturer?
Oki Gunawan, Ph.D., born in Jakarta, is a Research Staff Member at IBM Thomas J Watson Research Center, the IBM Research headquarter. He received B. Eng. (1998) and M. Eng (2000) from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore and M.A. (2004) and Ph.D. (2007), from Princeton University, all in Electrical Engineering. At IBM he has been working on two frontier programs in silicon technology: nanowire CMOS devices and nanowire-based solar cells and published key papers in these areas. Recently he joined the Photovoltaics Science & Technology department at IBM Research to work on earth-abundant "CZTS" solar cell technology, a recent major effort at IBM. He is a lead developer of IBM-PVX system, a new IBM technology offering for solar cell research and industry. He has authored 30 peer-reviewed publications in international journals and four US patents (pending). In Indonesia, his research activities were featured in Gatra and Swa magazines.
