| Description of Research | |||
| Dr. Alford is engaged in research on advanced metallization for future low power integrated circuit devices. This works involves processing and characterization of silver and copper metal lines, low dielectric materials, and silicide contacts. Other activities include, ion-beam modified and molelcular engineered materials interfaces for biomedical devices (e.g., ion-induced mixing and phase formation in the hydroxyapatite-metal systems for orthopeadic implants). He has a broad background in the areas of X-ray, ion-beam, and electrical characterization of materials.
