Biography
Niranjan Devashrayee has received B.Sc. in Physics From Gujarat University in 1975, M.Sc. in Applied Physics from Faculty of Technology & Engineering, M. S. University, Vadodara in 1977 and PhD (VLSI) from Kurukshetra University in 1990. He has a wide research experience of over 25 years as a Scientist in Central Electronics Research Institute (C.E.E.R.I., Pilani). Experience includes research and development in Microelectronics area particularly in VLSI, Sensors and Solid State Devices. The work carried out included Developed low ppm NiCr/Cu thin film resistors, Fabrication of shallow junction MOSFET with AlSi metallization for VLSI circuits, Study of Ti-AlSi multilayers structure, Completed study of diffusivity of Al in Ti and the effect of Silicon doping for VLSI interconnect metallization, Study of development of characterization of LDD MOS transistors, Completed study of AlSi and TiSi2 thin films for the development of two level interconnect metallization, Development of Al2O3 film humidity sensor etc. Dr. Devashrayee has been recipient of Raman Research Fellowship Award to participate in Post Doctorate study program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York during May 1991 – May 1992. Activities there included, Research in the field of multilevel metallization for the development of VLSI under the supervision of Professor S.P. Murarka and Study of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of copper for multilevel metallization for the development of ULSI under the supervision of Professor Alain E. Kaloyeros at State University of New York, Albany, New York. In December 2003, he joined Nirma University, Ahmedabad. At present, he is working as PG - Coordinator VLSI Design Course at Nirma University, Ahmedabad. He has more than 11 years of teaching experience at UG and PG level in areas of Physics and VLSI Design.
