SCM Pioneer Presents a Developer's Insight into Scanning Capacitance Microscopy at EDFAS Chapter Meeting

Santa Barbara, CA, USA (July 28, 2009) – MultiProbe™, the developer and manufacturer of the Atomic Force Nanoprober (AFP), announces a speaking engagement to occur in August.

Dr. Peter Harris, MultiProbe General Manager and Director of Development, will be the speaker at the Golden Gate Chapter 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 will be discussing SCM applications in FA: Theory, Techniques, Optimization and Sample Preparation. Along with MultiProbe founder Andy Erickson, Dr. Harris is one of the original pioneers that commercialized the Scanning Capacitance technique, and will offer a developer’s insight into how it works and why SCM can be used to determine dopant profiles. He will also talk about SCM’s inherent limitations and what may limit the interpretation of results.

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.

MultiProbe develops and manufactures the world’s highest resolution nanoprobing tools. Companies use our instruments to characterize the smallest, high performance semiconductor devices on integrated circuits.
