Research Statement

Plummer studies both the physics which govern device operation in silicon integrated circuits and the technology used to fabricate these circuits. Recent work is aimed at extending silicon device structures into nanoscale dimensions. New device concepts are explored through computer simulation and promising ideas are fabricated in the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility to verify ideas experimentally. Plummer's research also explores the scaling limits of silicon technology and the application of this technology outside traditional integrated circuits.
