NRL News

In a recent study, ECE researchers from the Nanoelectronics Research Lab (NRL), investigated the nature of the physical contacts between 2D TMD semiconductors and a number of metals using a novel ab-initio technique specifically designed for such 2D layered materials.

Researchers at University of California, Santa Barbara, in collaboration with Rice University, have recently demonstrated a rapid synthesis technique for large-area bernal (or AB) stacked bilayer graphene films that can open up new pathways for digital electronics and transparent conductor applications.

 

Kaustav Banerjee, professor of electrical and computer engineering at UC Santa Barbara, and director of the Nanoelectronics Research Lab, is spending the winter quarter of 2014 in Japan on an invitation fellowship of the Japan Society for the promotion of science.

Professor Kaustav Banerjee and NRL researchers take carbon nanotube interconnects closer to reality.

Researchers in electrical and computer engineering at University of California, Santa Barbara have introduced and modeled an integrated circuit design scheme in which transistors and interconnects are monolithically patterned seamlessly on a sheet of graphene, a 2-dimensional plane of carbon atoms. The demonstration offers possibilities for ultra energy-efficient, flexible, and transparent electronics.

First demonstration of graphene’s robustness under Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) recognized with the EOS/ESD symposium’s top technical awards for 2012.
