About

SoE Nanofabrication Core Facility

Overview of Services

The core objectives of SoE Nanofabrication Core Facility include:

  • Supporting research activities of Rutgers School of Engineering
  • Educating students and postdocs with skills and capabilities that can be readily applied in high-tech semiconductor industries and research institutes
  • Promoting research collaborations between research centers and industrial organizations
  • Bringing in Research Incomes through Grants, User Access Fee and Training
  • Leading the applications of federal- and state-funded competitive fundings.

Leadership

Dr. Zin is a director of Rutgers Nanofabrication Core Facility and a graduate faculty of ECE at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. Prior to joining Rutgers, Dr. Zin was a Research Assistant Professor with the University of Central Florida (UCF). Dr. Zin led the team at UCF for developing solar cell device fabrication capabilities, advancing characterization and analysis, and development of industrially applicable high efficiency silicon solar cells. Before UCF career, he was with ANU as a Research Fellow until 2016. Dr. Zin has many years of demonstrated track record in developing >24% IBC silicon solar cells and managing collaboration projects with industry partners including Trina Solar, GCL System Integration, SolarTech Universal, Tempress, Oxford Instruments, Roth & Rau, International Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing Research ICAMR, Semilab SDI, NAURA-Akrion, Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore SERIS and ESA Renewables. Notably, through partnership Trina Solar has successfully commercialized large-area IBC silicon solar cells with efficiency of 24.13%[1] (2nd highest after SunPower) based on the technologies that Dr. Zin and colleagues developed at the Australian National University. Dr. Zin also received multiple research grants with the total award value of $1.8M to date, employing postdocs, and supervising grad and undergrad students to date.
