Vitae
Dr. Jackson's primary interests are in exploratory electronic devices and
microfabrication techniques. Pursuit of these interests included work on flat panel
display technology, ultrashort-gate-length self-aligned GaAs MESFETs, GaAs and germanium
MOSFETs, rapid thermal processing, superconducting FETs, InGaAs/InAlAs SISFETs, ohmic
contacts on compound semiconductors, silicon etching and etchstops, and fabricating laser
fusion targets by semiconductor microfabrication techniques. General interest is in
forcing as much device physics as possible out the terminals of an electronic device.
Current areas of interest include thin film devices, wide bandgap devices (SiC and
diamond), highspeed III-V devices, ultra-small devices and quantum devices, optoelectronic
integration (especially III-V sources and detectors with Si circuits),
superconductor-semicondutor interactions, and microfabrication.
Dr. Jackson joined the Pennsylvania State University in the fall of 1992 after working
for twelve years at the IBM T. J. Watson
Research Center. Dr. Jackson is the author or co-auther of over 60 referred publications
and 19 patents.
