C. R. (Selva) Selvakumar
Professor
BE ( Madras), MTech (IIT Bombay)), PhD (IIT Madras),
Research Interests
Current Research interests are in Solar Cells and Photodetectors. Past research interests have included Bipolar and Field Effect Devices Modeling
and experimental process technologies. SiGe Devices and low temperature and integrable IC technologies.
On the modelling side my efforts are centred on developing insightful
analytical models and accurate D.C. and A.C. Device Models for
Bipolar and Field Effect Devices over a wide range of temperatures.
Efforts in process modeling are currently focussed on dopant diffusion
in implantation-formed alloy semiconductors. Research interests on the
experimental side are on
Integrable Process Technologies (for example: low temperature epitaxy
and ion-implantation).
My other areas of interest are in Silicon-on-Insulator
technologies and buried silicides for high performance IC tchnologies,
sensors and optoelectronics.

Current Graduate Students:
Ahmed AlQurashi (M.Sc ->Ph.D)
AbdulRahman (M.A.Sc)
I'll consider taking new graduate students at Ph.D level
Students with outstanding academic record with NSERC or
equivalent scholarships are encouraged to apply to E&CE Graduate office.
Both experimental and theoretical/modeling research can be conducted with
facilities available at Waterloo
( microelectronic clean room fabrication facilities and modeling softwares such as Sentaurus, SUPREM and other in-house developed programs).
