Ultra Wide Bandgap (UWBG) semiconductors are a new class of semiconductor materials that have bandgaps that are significantly wider than those of traditional semiconductors such as silicon and gallium nitride. These materials, such as diamond, AlN, and ZnO, have bandgaps that are several times wider than SiC and GaN, and they have the potential to enable new applications and breakthroughs in power electronics and high-frequency devices.
Research on UWBG semiconductors at CISEDS center will focus on developing new device structures, fabrication techniques, and characterization methods to improve the performance and reliability of these devices. This will include investigating new materials and designs for the UWBG devices, as well as developing new fabrication techniques that can produce high-quality devices with minimal defects. Additionally, the center will also focus on the integration of these devices into systems and applications to demonstrate their potential in real-world scenarios.
In addition, the center will also focus on developing new materials, such as UWBG-based heterostructures, to improve the performance of these devices. Heterostructures can be used to create new device structures that can enhance the performance of UWBG devices by introducing new material properties, such as improved electron mobility, enhanced thermal conductivity, or improved carrier confinement.
Furthermore, the center will also focus on developing new characterization techniques that can be used to understand the properties of UWBG devices. These techniques can be used to measure the electrical and thermal properties of these devices, as well as their mechanical properties, and to understand how these properties change under different operating conditions.
