To whom it may concern It is to certify that the BTech Part3 Project Work entitled “ Fabrication and Charcterisation of Au-Si-Au MSM structure” has been successfully completed by Mr Soumo Ghosal (Roll 91/RPE 060001 , Regd No. 048674 of 2001-2002) and Ms Shraboni Samaddar ( ) for partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Bachelors Degree in Engineering from the Institute of Radiophysics and Electronics,University of Calcutta, under my guidance following all the rules and regulations laid down by the University and the Institute. This is now ready for evaluation.
Prof J.P. Bandyopadhyay
Acknowledgement It has been a wonderful experience working on my BTech Project under the guidance of my respected teacher Prof J.P. Bandyopadhyay. I am thankful to my guide for the immense support extended by him. He has always been a source for encouragement helping me whenever I have approached him. I am also thankful to my project partner Ms Shraboni Samaddar for being extremely accommodative. Heartfelt thanks to all the people associated with the “IMPATT Fabrication Laboratory” of IRPE. Special thanks to Mr Nabin Mondal for it was he who taught us how to handle the instruments used in my fabrication process. I am grateful to all some of my fellowmates working in the same lab for their assistance. Finally my sincere thanks to all the teachers and staff of the Institute who have always been supportive whenever I needed any help.
