ABSTRACT: The process of the design and manufacture of hi-tech products currently involves a global effort and multinational teams. In this environment, US engineering students should be proficient in the technical subjects, technological trends and business practices that are exist in different countries and cultures.
In this research project, which is focused on fabrication and studies of novel nanostructures based on highly organized arrays of size and shape controlled silicon nanocrystals in the form of pyramid-dot complexes and strained Si nanolayers, the PI uses the existing ties to the University of Tokyo and provides a meaningful international experience for NJIT undergraduate students. Series of samples are prepared by NJIT students using our Japanese collaborator unique nano-fabrication facilities. The same group of students are performing in-depth studies of the sample properties and fabricating memory device prototypes in Newark, NJ. Our industrial collaborators are in the process of evaluation of these novel memory device prototypes.
