- SCM applications in FA: Theory, Optimization Techniques and Sample Preparation
- August 2009 Santa Barbara, CA– Dr. Peter Harris, MultiProbe General Manager and Director of Development, speaks at the Golden Gate Chapter of EDFAS meeting on Thursday, August 13th from 6:30 -8:00pm at the Silicon Valley Technology Center Cantina/ Nano Lab Technologies, 3833 North First Street, San Jose, CA.
- Dr. Harris discusses SCM applications in FA: Theory, Techniques, Optimization and Sample Preparation. As one of the original pioneers that commercialized the Scanning Capacitance technique, Dr. Harris offers a developer’s insight into how it works and why SCM can be used to determine dopant profiles. He also addresses SCM’s inherent limitations and what may limit the interpretation of results.

- EDFAS GOLDEN GATE CHAPTER is an Affiliate Society of ASM International, and the only EDFAS chapter in California.
- BIO: Dr. Peter Harris received a Bachelor of Science in Astrophysics from the University of Leicester, UK in 1992 and a PhD in the Characterization of Light Emitting Porous Semiconductors from DeMontfort University in 1995.
- Following his role as Technical Manager with Digital Instruments in the U.K., Dr. Harris moved to DI’s Santa Barbara office in 2000 to support Andy Erickson (then Senior Staff Scientist directing the electrical characterization group). Later in that year, when Mr. Erickson left to form MultiProbe™, Dr. Harris took over his position and continued his work in areas such as scanning capacitance microscopy and tunneling AFM.
- Dr. Harris joined MultiProbe in 2007. He is a member of several professional societies including EDFAS.
