Semiconductor and Nanoelectronic Devices (SND) Lab

Research at the SND lab focuses on the device design, physics based modelling, and characterization in a broad range of semiconductor and nanoelectronic technologies including MOSFETs, on-chip memory cells, Solar Cells, Biological sensors, and, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). Computational/theoretical research is based on physics based numerical simulations and analytical modelling with a focus on discovering innovative solutions for emerging technologies. Experimental research focuses on device performance and reliability analysis using nanofabrication and electrical/optical device characterization. Due to its multidisciplinary nature, SND lab closely collaborates across various departments within SBASSE as well as outside LUMS with other national and international universities. Some of the on-going projects include carbon nanotube based solar cells, III-V phototransistor modelling/characterization, and biological sensors for Lab-on-a-Chip applications.
