In Prof. Kohl’s group, I am currently involved in developing new materials and processes for microelectronic packaging. My focus is mostly on high-sensitivity, high-aspect ratio, high-contrast polynorbornene photoresists. These materials can be used in new packaging approaches for MEMS and microelectronics, such as all copper interconnects, air gap technology, and 3-D mechanical structures.
