PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering - Solid State Devices and Nanotechnology in Ann Arbor United States | University of Michigan Ann Arbor

Research initiatives in the Solid-State and Nanotechnology field encompass diverse subjects. Experimental studies in integrated photonics and optoelectronics range from designing and manufacturing devices, exploring device physics, developing optoelectronic and photonic integrated circuits for communication, imaging, and sensing applications, to advancing solar cell technology and merging III-V photonics with Si CMOS. Theoretical modeling and analysis often supplement these experimental efforts. Investigations in organic and molecular electronics involve creating organic field-effect transistors, integrated circuits, and light-emitting devices on both glass and flexible plastic substrates, along with developing hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film transistors and active-matrix arrays for flat panel displays and sensors, plus pioneering active-matrix organic light-emitting display solutions. Faculty members spearhead research on high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices utilizing premium compound semiconductor materials and intricate semiconductor heterostructures. Current work includes epitaxial growth of compound semiconductor materials, supported by three molecular beam epitaxy systems and one metal-organic chemical vapor deposition apparatus, which are actively employed for novel material research and device development.
