Post Doctoral Researchers
Weibin Qiu
I work primarily on developing semiconductor processing and device fabrication techniques, e.g. ICP etching, e-beam lithography, and fabrication of optical logic gates, low-loss waveguide interconnects, hydrogen sensors, and monolithic components for chip scale instruments.
