AREAS OF RESEARCH INTEREST

• Growth and characterization of functional thin films using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition of organic/inorganic precursors: ceramic thin films for passivation or encapsulation layers in organic electronics, low-k dielectric films for flexible electronics, hard mask layers used for ultra-fine patterned semiconductor devices, and chemically modified polymerized thin films for biocompatibility applied to biochips/biosensors.

• Development of printing technologies with various printing methods (inkjet/screen/gravure) and sintering processes (thermal/photonic/laser/microwave/plasma) for electrodes and interconnects used in flexible electronic devices including thin film transistors, flex circuits, RFIDs, sensors, solar cells, light emitting diodes, printed circuit boards, and integrated circuit packaging.
