Congratulations to Yushan Lee and John Howe‘s work which were accepted to 2025 Techcon in Austin, TX. And John has been selected to give Undergraduate Lightning Talks in Graduate Sessions. Looking forward to enjoying both presentaions!

Congrations to our undergraduate John Howe‘s paper, titled “Engineering MSMFM Structure Composed of Compound Bi-Directional Selector and Ferroelectric Capacitor for High Density Capacitor Arrays“, was accepted to 2025 Device Research Conference (DRC)!

Congratulations to YuShan Lee, who received a 4-month internship at Marvell, San Jose, CA.

Congratulations to Shan Deng, John Howe, and Sizhe Ma! Our paper, “Vertical 2T-nC FeRAM Demonstration: BEOL Read Transistor for 4F2 Memory Strings and Two-Terminal Selector Design for Polarization Disturb Mitigation”, has been accepted for presentation at the 2025 Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits (VLSI) in Kyoto, Japan.

We are thrilled to announce that Shan Deng and Zijian Zhao have successfully completed their PhD studies this summer! Shan will join Micron in Idaho and Zijian will join Sandisk in California. Their hard work and contributions are invaluable to NEEDs group. We wish them great success in their future careers, Dr. Deng and Dr. Zhao!
