Research Group Website: https://chemistry.unt.edu/chyan-research-group/index.html
Dr. Chyan recieved his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1990.
He was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Cincinnati from 1990-1992. Dr. Chyan
joined the UNT faculty in 1992.
Research Area:
- Analytical
- Material Chemistry
Research:
- Semiconductor Materials Chemistry
- Microelectronic Fabrication
- Interfacial Electrochemistry
Professor Chyan's research group actively explores underlying fundamental science of selected critical interfaces relevant to advanced microelectronic fabrication and functional nanostructure design/development. Various highly sensitive metrology were developed to characterize metals, semiconductors, oxides, organics and their composites. The improved understanding of fundamental interfacial properties leads to useful functional designs, such as chemical sensors, IC metal interconnects, Cu diffusion barriers, corrosion inhibitors, fuel cells and renewable energy.
