Alan Seabaugh
Professor
Ph.D. University of Virginia, Charlottesville, 1985
Research Interests: Research in the Seabaugh group addresses questions of limits in electron devices and circuits. What limits device energy-efficiency, density, speed, power dissipation, ...? Are there better materials, devices, or circuit tricks to improve performance? Are there new effects we can use at the limits of miniaturization? Projects are currently underway in tunneling transistors, InAs-on-Si MOSFETs, tunneling static random access memory (TSRAM), energy scavenging, and nanofabrication. It is fun to develop technology from the bottom up. “Specialization is for insects,” Richard Feynman.
Courses: Analog Integrated Circuits Design, Electrical Energy Extraction, Electromagnetic Fields and Waves I, Electronics II
Dr. Alan Seabaugh is Professor of Electrical Engineering, Director of the Midwest Institute for Nanoelectronics Discovery (MIND), and Associate Director of the Center for Nano Science and Technology (NDnano) at the University of Notre Dame. His research interests include tunneling and low power devices, memory, nanoelectronic circuits, energy scavenging, and nanofabrication. He joined the University of Notre Dame in August of 1999 as Professor of Electrical Engineering following positions at the National Bureau of Standards (1979-1986), Texas Instruments Incorporated (1986-1997), and Raytheon Systems Company (1997-1999). He has 170+ publications and 22 U.S. patents. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and a member of the American Physical Society. Dr. Seabaugh attended University of Virginia (UVA) from 1973–1979 and graduated with the B.S. and M.S.E.E. degrees in 1977 and 1979. His M.S. thesis was titled “GaAs liquid phase epitaxy for millimeter wave Schottky diodes.” He then joined the Electron Device Division of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) in Gaithersburg, MD. While at NBS he received a Department of Commerce Fellowship to resume studies through UVA with research performed at NBS. He completed the Ph.D.E.E. in 1985, with thesis titled, “Transient photoresistance spectroscopy of deep levels in high resistivity semiconductors.” A year later he joined an early nanoelectronics group at the Central Research Laboratories (CRL) of Texas Instruments (TI) to develop tunneling transistors and circuits (1986–1997). In 1997 TI subdivided CRL and sold the Nanoelectronics Branch to Raytheon. At Raytheon, he continued development of digital and mixed-signal circuit technology based on tunneling device technology; he was promoted to Senior Fellow in 1999. While in Dallas, he was a visiting lecturer (five semesters) in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas. He followed his teaching and research interests to the University of Notre Dame in August of 1999.
