Buchanan
is an established researcher in the field of physics and engineering
of microelectronic materials and devices. His work has directly impacted
the design and implementation of new materials for gate dielectrics and
metals used in current state-of-the-art CMOS electronic devices. His
work has been recognized as a strategic area for the University and he
has been recently awarded a Tier
2 CRC in Microelectronic Materials. He will use ESCA/Auger, SIMS
and SPM to investigate the physical and chemical nature of dielectric
films to be developed for use in the microelectronic industry and in
the development of future generations of CMOS devices, sensors and nanoelectronic
devices.
