Fabrication of novel optoelectronic devices with 2D materials
In this semester project you will learn many state-of-the-art nano-fabrication techniques, such as mechanical exfoliation, van der Waals heterostructure assembly, glovebox, AFM, optical lithography, etc.
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as a promising class of layered materials for optoelectronic applications and discovering novel physical phenomena [1]. Different 2D materials can be mechanically exfoliated onto silicon substrates, which can then be assembled into heterostructures with the dry pick-up technique for making novel optoelectronic devices.
In this semester project you will learn many state-of-the-art nano-fabrication techniques,
such as mechanical exfoliation, van der Waals heterostructure assembly, glovebox, AFM, optical lithography, etc. Moreover, you will have the opportunities to join the measurement of different optoelectronic devices and learn different characterization methods.
