- Educational qualifications:

 

            2007 PhD in Engineering science –Microelectronics-, University of Perpignan- France,  25 May 2007.

The thesis is entitled: “Power devices: switching and reliability

The work involved the study of the switching phenomena of power devices and its degradation with time. A novel experiment was set up to measure the switching speed, witch allowed us to publish the first results that studies the switching behavior as a reliability parameter.

Defects resulting from long time operation and from temperature differences were characterized through a whole set of measurements such as, I(V), C(V), G(V), Ton, Toff,…

Degradation of the oxide, the interface, and the package were considered.

 

            2004-2007      PhD student, University of Perpignan- France

                                   in collaboration with the Lebanese University- Lebanon.

During this period I worked closely with researchers in the Lebanese University when I was sent on several missions to Lebanon in order to install a Microelectronics characterization laboratory in the faculty of sciences of the Lebanese University. The lab was successfully installed.

 

            2003-2004      Masters degree in ‘Material sciences and electronic devices’,

                                   Lebanese University - faculty of science

The final project of my Masters degree was done in the “Laboratoire de Physique Appliquée et d’Automatique (LP2A)”  in the University of Perpignan – France. The work concerned the degradation of the transit time of power MOSFET devices subjected to high electric fields.

The project was entitled: “Electric stress effects on transit time of VDMOSFETs power devices.

The resulted article was : “A faster power MOSFET device with electrical stress treatment”. Microelectronics International 22 (2005) 35-37

 

            2002-2003      Teaching diploma in sciences- option: physics

           Lebanese University- faculty of science

 

 

 

- Scientific qualifications

The research domain of my thesis is “microelectronics” and “the physics of semiconductors”. The main interest is in MOS structures and its related devices. The work is focused on the reliability of MOS devices, especially those subjected to high electric fields and high temperatures. Interested in the study of defects in semiconductors, oxide-semiconductor interfaces, and packages. In particular the cases involving the transport of energetic particles and tunneling effects.

- Large experience in characterization methods of electronic devices and in experimental measurements of electrical characteristics such as C(V), I(V), G(V), Ton, Toff,… performed on several types of power devices.

- Good knowledge of electron microscopy (SEM), and X ray diffraction.

- Good knowledge of theoretical physics, in particular quantum mechanics and I am also very good in experimental procedures.

 

- Teaching experience

During my PhD studies I had the chance to teach laboratory courses in electronics, microelectronics, and Physics. I also supervised the final projects of two Master students and two Bachelor students.

 

- Research interests

Semiconductor physics, micro and nanoelectronics, charge transport, high frequency electronics, device fabrication, reliability tests, electrical and structural characterization, quantum physics in nanostructures, MEMS technologies, biological compatibility.

 

- Languages spoken and written fluently
