139. Dopants at the Atomic Limit in Silicon and Germanium (Su-PL1)

Prof. Steven Schofield (University College London)

Group IV Semiconductors - I

Invited presentation

Controlling the placement and electronic character of dopant atoms in semiconductors lies at the heart of both classical device technology and the emerging field of semiconductor quantum computing. As device dimensions approach the single-atom limit, however, the discrete quantum-mechanical nature of individual dopants demands fundamentally new approaches to fabrication and characterisation....
