Summary on Grant Application Form
There has been a fruitful collaboration between the Nanoelectronics Research Centre at Glasgow University and Professor Eave's group in Nottingham for more than 10 years during which over 40 papers have been published. This proposal is for funds to enable this collaboration to continue.The work to be done in the new project involves the fabrication of laterally-patterned submicron devices on III-V materials for study at Nottingham. The challenging devices needed are Resonant Tunnelling Diodes which may or may not be gated. These devices require a blend of the nanofabrication skills developed in Glasgow over many years including high resolution electron beam lithography and low damage dry etching. Registration marks for STM lithography in Nottingham are also needed. A PDRA from Nottingham has already been trained in nanofabrication technology by the Glasgow team and it is proposed that he should work in Glasgow fabricating these devices for approximately three months per year.
