Interview
Professor Steve Campbell's name is familiar to many within the nanotechnology community. In research he is known for his innovative approaches in using high permittivity materials for the gate insulator in deeply sealed MOSFETs. To educators he's known as an advocate of Nano-Lite, an NSF-sponsored regional center for nanotechnology that focuses on the AAS level. In the classroom he is known as the author of The Science and Technology of Microelectronic Fabrication, one of the most widely used textbooks on the subject. nanoHUB​.org had a notable role in the development of the latest edition; indeed nanoHUB tools were used to verify many of the theories presented in the text.

Dedicated followers of nanoHUB​.org, however, may be familiar with Dr. Campbell for his prolific use of its tools, including PADRE, ADEPT, nanoFET Lab, and ProLab-CDD, among others.
