Michael Nolan

MicroNano Systems

Michael Nolan is Head of Group – Materials Modelling for Devices and member of the Leadership Team at the Tyndall National Institute, with a group of 5 PhD and 7 postdoc researchers. The group’s research focus lies in the modelling of materials and their processing for a range of device applications. We perform first principles studies of the mechanisms of atomic level processing, that is Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), self-limiting thermal Atomic Layer Etch (ALE) and hybrid Molecular Layer Deposition (MLD), delivering deep insights into potential processes and predicting new process chemistries. Funding for this work has been secured through Science Foundation Ireland partnerships including the US-Ireland Program, the H2020 M-ERA.net.2 co-fund, SFI-EPSRC SFI and SFI Frontiers for the Future as well as H2020 and Horizon Europe. Our ability to work closely with experiment on common problems is a key attribute of the group’s activities. Extensive engagement with leading industry in the semiconductor processing space includes the major equipment manufacturers to use simulations to explore potential ALD chemistries, Intel on ALE and MedTech companies on MLD for ultra thin coatings on medical devices.
