Although a number of studies have focused on the piezoresistive effect in n-type 3C-SiC, 4H-SiC and 6H-SiC, comparatively little attention has been paid to piezoresistance in p-type 3C-SiC.
Dr. Hoang-Phuong Phan received his B.Eng. and M.Eng. from The University of Tokyo, Japan in 2011 and 2013, and his PhD from the Queensland Micro and Nano Technology Centre at Gri_th University, Australia in 2016. Since 2016, he has been a research fellow at the Queensland Micro- and Nanotechnology Centre. He was a visiting scholar at the Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (AIST), and Aichi Institute of Technology (AIT) both in Japan. His research interests include Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems, advanced materials, physics of semiconductors, and nanotechnologies. Dr. Phan was awarded the Japanese Government Scholarship (MEXT) for undergraduate and postgraduate studies from 2006 to 2013, and the GUPRS and GUPS scholarships from Gri_th from 2013 to 2016. Dr. Phan is currently working on the development of Integrated Cooling Technologies (IceTech) for SiC power devices funded by Australian Research Council (ARCLP150100153) with Prof. Nam-Trung Nguyen's group at Queensland Micro and Nanotechnology Centre.
