Fabrication of Ga2O3 diodes

Salt Lake City, Utah, United States

I am part of the AFOSR MURI Ga2O3 project, where the defects of gallium oxide (Ga2O3) are studied. Identification of Ga2O3 and aluminum gallium oxide (AGO) using PL, PL mapping, SEM, TEM, and AFM to distinguish extended defects. Investigated (AlxGa1-x)2O3 and its defects using transmission and PL. Discovered “Sympetalous defect” in Ga2O3 epitaxial films.Investigated (AlxGa1-x)2O3 and its defects using transmission and PL. Fabricated devices in clean room to study the effects of changing the electric field and measuring PL of Ga2O3.

– ECE 6310 Grader: Advanced Electromagnetic Fileds Mentored students and aided them in understanding course materials and homework. Main contact for students when the professor was unavailable for a month (newborn).

Salt Lake City, Utah, United States

– ECE 2280 Lab: Fundamentals for Engineering Electronics Promoted to head TA which organized, prepped, and lead labs. Sent out announcements, answered TA’s questions, created rubrics while keeping professor updated.

Salt Lake City, Utah, United States

– ECE 5320 / 6320 Lab: Microwave Engineering– ECE 2280 Lab: Fundamentals for Engineering ElectronicsActed as lead TA preparing materials and instructions for other TAs. Developed new labs from scratch for the new online class (due to covid). Showed initiative in creating new teaching materials, including MATLAB codes, rubrics, and short lectures to aid students with their labs. Since not all students knew how to use Matlab and it was not a requirement, it was necessary to either make programs they could use or teach some basic Matlab.

Part of a group creating a less invasive, high resolution, deep brain imaging device. By using a cannula and fast-Fourier-transform of the signal collected, a smaller, less invasive method can be used to image within the brain. I worked on improving the system by re-designing it, fabricating new components, and improving the software program. I fabricated components that were used to improve the calibration process. I used computational techniques such as space-variant point-spread function (SV-PSF) and Tikhonov regularization to reconstruct and smooth reconstructed images (using Matlab and LabVIEW software). Images were taken of neurons and their dendrites which express green fluorescing proteins (GFP) and microglia which express red fluorescing proteins (td-Tomato).

Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States

The material properties of LaAlO3 using Ellipsometry. Measured the pseudo-dielectric function and transmission of LaAlO3 and calculated the absorption coefficients. Calculated the Direct and indirect band gap of LaAlO3 using the absorption coefficients. Created a model describing the dielectric function of LaAlO3 using parametric oscillators and looked at the critical points.

Completed an REU through the MRSEC department researching negative differential resistance of resonant tunneling diodes made of 2-dimensional (2D) materials (WSe2 and HfSe2). Developed skills to design and build diodes by exfoliating flakes of the materials, spin coating photoresist, CAD designing leads, exposing photoresist with an e-beam, evaporating gold, and removing excess gold through lift-off. Experienced gowning and working in a clean room. Devices used included an atomic force microscope (AFM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and probe station with a Keithley 2400 source meter unit.

Los Cruces, Nm

Assisted in determining optical properties of (LaAlO3)0.3(Sr2AlTaO6)0.35 (LSAT) using Ellipsometry. This was done by investigating the temperature dependence of the pseudo-dielectric function, transmission data, and calculated absorption coefficients. Also deriving the temperature-dependent data of the direct and indirect band gaps and modeling the direct band gaps verses temperature using a Bose-Einstein model.

Los Alamos

Continuation of summer internship under highly experienced metrologists focusing on a standards drift. Evaluated various standards used in other calibrations such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors and then developed a program to evaluate trends for these standards and used it to evaluate drift to determine a standard's future values.

Las Cruces, New Mexico Area

Assisted in determining the molecular electronic transitions of Geranium and Geranium on Silicon using Ellipsometry. This was done by measuring the initial, secondary, and third transition states of the samples. Modeling the dielectric function and second derivative of the dielectric function using a Savizky-Golay algorithm. Then deriving the critical points of the molecular electron transition of samples, graphing the trend with changing temperature using a Bose-Einstein expression.

Los Alamos Nm

Calibrated various instruments, including Meters (including volt, current, and multi Meters), Gages (including temperature, pressure, calipers, and micrometers ...), Oscilloscopes, Timers, and Clocks. Created automated calibration procedures using Met Cal software. Calculated measurement uncertainties and tolerances using a 4:1 TUR (Test Uncertainty Ratio) or Guard Banding to ensure conformance to the manufacturer-specified limits. Determined measurement uncertainty through Gaussian/Normal distribution and RMS (root mean square), took into account drift/wear, history of Device Under Test (DUT), temperature, humidity, and uncertainties of standards used. Completed Verification and Validation of calibration procedures.
