Vacancy-type point defects, i.e., defects where one or several atoms are missing from a lattice site, are often present in rather high concentrations in semiconductors and insulators due to their ...

By varying crystal growth and processing conditions, the effects of crystalline defects and impurities at surfaces, interfaces and in the bulk semiconductor can be investigated and often enhanced or ...

Carbon nanotubes present a game-changing solution for preventing defects in EUV lithography, supporting the semiconductor industry's drive toward extreme miniaturization and improved chip reliability.

Another critical aspect of semiconductor nanostructures is the stability of point defects, which can significantly affect electronic properties. A study on GaAs/AlGaAs superlattices found that ...

Dr. Mooney was chair of the Gordon Research Conference on Defects in Semiconductors, organized symposia at MRS meetings, and has served on the program committees of numerous other conferences. She was ...
