Research Project Title:
2D and Ferroelectric Materials for Thermal Detection
abstract:The semiconductor world is on the lookout for small materials that can produce big results. One such material is MoS2, which is 2-dimensional and, when coupled with a ferroelectric material, creates a device that is very sensitive to changes in temperature. This project focuses on using this 2-dimensional material MoS2 and the ferroelectric material hafnium zirconium oxide (HZO) to make devices that can be used for infrared detection and imaging.
About:
I'm participating in SuperUROP to gain more experience in semiconductor device research and to take on a research project of my own. I took a nanoelectronics class — 6.012 Nanoelectronics and Computing Systems — last Fall and really enjoyed it and continued my learning with a UROP in the field through the rest of the year. I hope this experience will help me decide what I would like to do after college.
