Medium energy ion scattering (MEIS) for the high depth resolution analysis of shallow implants and high–k dielectric nano layers. The characterisation of beam plasmas using mass/energy analysis and probe analysis
Teaching Company In 1995, jointly with Prof Dave Armour, I was awarded a DTI funded Teaching Company Scheme, together with Applied Materials, Horsham (UK) and after Prof Armour’s retirement in 1997, responsible for its management. It involved the development of sophisticated beam characterisation equipment that has yielded vital information on the factors limiting high current low energy ion beam transport and has contributed to new ion source developments. Providing university and industrially based training for 2 RA’s, both of whom have subsequently become key Applied Materials R&D personnel, this project was completed early 2000, and received the highest possible evaluation, (grade 1) and a TCS Certificate of Excellence.
Funding Development of low energy ion beam technology, (TCS with Applied Materials, Horsham (‘95–‘00) DTI/EPSRC, £ 120k
Industrial R&D funding from Applied Materials. The project involved the construction of an extension to the Salford low energy implanter and the subsequent measurement of charge exchange cross sections of ion species relevant to low energy ion implanters which have yielded unique data.
Funding “Charge exchange studies”, Applied Materials (1999-2001 & 2003-05) £100 k.
Consultancy Feasibility study of multi-aperture ion source, involving ion source modification and testing.
Funding: Applied Materials (2002) £ 2k
Consultancy Retained as a R&D Consultant by VSW Scientific Instruments from 1986–90, I designed and developed a low pressure discharge ion gun (AS10/20 – more than 25 units sold), a duoplasmatron micro-focussed ion gun beamline (6 systems sold) and independent movement 2-axes goniometers for ARXPS/UPS. Also made substantial contributions to the design and construction of two large (> £500k) low energy beam systems for ion beam deposition studies, supplied to JAERI (Japan) and University of Texas (USA). Return for the University was primarily in the form of providing research student support and donation of equipment (£30k).
Consultancy As a spin-off of my PhD research, I designed two UHV compatible high-precision, 3- and 2-axes sample goniometers, later commercially licensed for manufacture to Panmure Instruments Ltd of Newbury (Berks) by SUBS. Over the last three decades in excess of 20 instruments have been sold. I am retained by Panmure as a consultant.
Patents Holder of 2 patents in conjunction with collaborators at Applied Materials.
Equipment donation As a result of the long term R&D relationship with Applied Materials, the group at Salford has acquired Applied’s PLUTO research ion implanter (estimated value £ 500 k) free of charge in 2001. This machine’s ion optics are equivalent to a modern commercial implanter. This system has been made fully operational aided by a £ 3.5k RIF grant awarded by the University of Salford, to fund a Senior Experimental Officer to assist in its rebuilding. It was used for PhD research on the physics of ion beam beam plasma formation and characterisation and low energy beam transport and further R&D funding from Applied Materials was been obtained in 2006 (£ 12k).
Commercial Contracts with US based semiconductor companies for MEIS analysis of ultra low energy As and B implants, attracted on the basis of research publications £ 4.3 k (2004). Further commercial work was secured in 2011 and channelled directly to Daresbury Lab. (£ 6k)
Research appointment - however will be teaching on the MSc in Accelerator Science starting in October 2012
