The Electronic & Photonic Materials team conducts diverse research in semiconductor material development, characterization, and device applications. III-V compounds like GaAs, GaN, InP, and GaSb are particularly significant due to their exceptional electronic and photonic performance, enabling advancements in high-speed electronics, optical computing, telecommunications, defense systems, and medical technologies. The Solid State Lighting and Energy Electronics Center(link is external) focuses notably on blue laser development for data storage and lighting solutions. Additionally, the group has expanded its research scope to include silicon and alternative material-based microelectromechanical systems. Researchers have access to cutting-edge equipment for Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) and Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) growth techniques, complemented by the advanced fabrication resources of UCSB's Nanofabrication Facility.
