Researcher At Center For Quantum Devices (Cqd)
Evanston, Illinois, United States
- Dedicated to investigating ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors, with a primary focus on novel metal oxides (i.e. Ga2O3) and a secondary interest in III-Nitrides (i.e. AlN, AlGaN, GaN) using epitaxial growth techniques.
- Examined and analyzed the effects of MOCVD growth parameters such as growth temperature, pressure and different precursors to produce epitaxial Ga2O3 layers with low defect density; Introduced novel techniques.
- Introduced AlOx interlayer method to facilitate the epitaxial growth of Ga2O3/III-Nitride heterostructures, overcoming the challenge of large lattice mismatch between the two material systems and effectively addressing.
- Explored and assessed the influence of hydrogen (H2) and nitrogen (N2) on MOCVD-grown Ga2O3 epilayers; The quantity of H2 plays a pivotal role in determining both the quality and polymorph of Ga2O3, while the presence.
- Investigated and analyzed MOCVD-grown epilayers through comprehensive structural, optical, and electrical characterization measurement techniques including Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscope.
