Mohamadali Malakoutian

Mohamadali is a highly experienced researcher who has a proven track record in working with high-power high-frequency transistors, all-diamond diodes, diamond integration for thermal management, and III-V wide bandgap semiconductors. He possesses expertise in various areas such as fab process design-integration, process and device modeling using tools like Athena and Atlas, thin-film deposition techniques including Evaporation, Sputtering, PVD, ALD, and PECVD, as well as dry etching such as ICP/RIE etching of Diamond, AlN, SiN, Al2O3, and SiO2. Additionally, he is skilled in the growth of single-crystalline/polycrystalline diamond on various semiconductors and dielectrics.
Currently, his primary focus lies in addressing the self-heating problem in semiconductor technologies by exploring thermal management techniques at the device level. He has achieved remarkable results in this area, including the attainment of the lowest thermal boundary resistance (TBR) between diamond and GaN, which closely aligns with the DMM theory. Furthermore, he has also achieved the highest lateral thermal conductivity for diamond thin films, further demonstrating his expertise and innovation in the field.
