Description
Wide and ultra-wide band gap semiconductors such as group III-nitrides and -oxides are of research interest for next generation RF and compact power systems. This project focuses on epitaxial growth and characterization of group-III and transition metal nitrides, oxides, complex oxides, and oxide/nitride heterojunctions for high power and frequency device application. Epitaxial thin films and heterostructures will be grown by molecular beam epitaxy and/or atomic layer deposition/epitaxy and characterized by various structural, morphological, electrical, and optical characterization techniques.
