Michael J. Bozack received his B.S.
and M.S. degrees in physics from Michigan State University and
a Ph.D. degree in applied physics from the Oregon Graduate
Institute (OGI) of Science and Technology in Portland,
OR. At OGI, he worked for Dr. Lyn Swanson (former CEO of
FEI Corporation) and Dr. J. S. Blakemore (of
Solid State Physics and Semiconductor Statistics
fame) on the surface physics associated with B- and
As-emitting liquid metal ion sources (LMI S).
Subsequently, he was a
Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Surface Science Center
at the University of Pittsburgh, where he performed pioneering
experiments with Professors J. T. Yates, Jr. and W. J. Choyke
on Si and SiC surface chemistry, epitaxial growth, methods in
semiconductor surface chemistry, and electron-stimulated
desorption (ESD and ESDIAD) of F+ from Si(100)
surfaces.
Later, he moved to Intel Corporation,
where he was Chief Surface Scientist during development of the
386-486 (pre-Pentium) microprocessor. During this period the
Materials Technology Group at Intel experienced tremendous
growth with the addition of nearly $20M of surface, thin film,
and materials instrumentation to support advanced VLSI
technology.
Currently, Dr. Bozack is Professor of Physics at
Auburn University (AU) and Director of the AU Surface Science
Laboratory (AUSSL). His research interests
include gas- and metal-surface reactions, semiconductor
surfaces, thin films, ohmic and Schottky contact development,
semiconductor processing technology, wide bandgap electronics,
liquid metal alloy wetting, and Pb-free solder
technology.
Current work focuses on the details of chemical
reactions between liquid and solid surfaces. The focus is to obtain
a microscopic description of surface dynamic processes by
exploring the kinetics of surface reactions and the nature of
the surface chemical bond.
Dr.
Bozack has published over 150 professional papers related to
his research, written 1 book chapter, holds 1 patent, and has
won several outstanding physics teacher awards. He is a member of the
American Vacuum Society (AVS), Materials Research Society
(MRS), and the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT)
and is a consultant to numerous large corporations such as the
U.S. Customs Research Laboratory, Eagle-Picher Industries,
Cessna Aircraft, Aragon Elastomers, Daimler-Chrysler, and
Molex, Inc.. For several years he has served as a
publications referee for the Journal of Applied Physics, IEEE
Transactions, the Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology,
and Surface Science
Spectra.
