Biography

Jenny Wong-Leung is a visiting associate professor at the ANU. She first obtained a bachelor of science in Physics with honours at the University of Bristol in UK in 1991. She then completed a PhD degree at the Australian National University in 1997 with her PhD thesis titled “The gettering of metals in silicon to defects induced by ion implantation’. During this period, she spent 3 months as a visiting student at A.T & T. Bell Laboratories in the US working on the effect of Fe contamination on gate oxide. She was the recipient of an ARC postdoctoral fellowship (1998-2001) which was focused on implantation induced defects in silicon and also an ARC QEII fellowship (2002-2007) based on “Ion implantation in Silicon Carbide for microelectronics applications”. Her main interests are in the structural and electrical characterisation of semiconductors. She has also been involved in defect characterisation in ion implanted semiconductors, as grown semiconductor heterostructures and nanostructures. She has worked with a range of semiconductors, Si, SiC, ZnO, III-V semiconductors such as GaAs, InAs, GaP, InP, InGaAs and AlGaAs. Her expertise in semiconductors are in ion implantation defects in semiconductors with prime techniques like transmission electron microscopy, deep level transient spectroscopy, Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. She has been involved in close collaborations with research groups in US, Sweden, Norway and the UK.
