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

Solid-State and Nanotechnology research encompasses diverse topics. Experimental studies in integrated photonics and optoelectronics range from designing and fabricating devices to exploring device physics, developing optoelectronic and photonic integrated circuits for communications, imaging, sensing, and solar applications, as well as merging III-V photonics with Si CMOS technology. Theoretical modeling and analysis often support these experimental efforts. Work in organic and molecular electronics involves creating organic field-effect transistors, integrated circuits, and light-emitting devices on both glass and plastic substrates, along with hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film transistors and active-matrix arrays for flat panel displays and sensors, plus advancing active-matrix organic light-emitting display technology. Faculty members spearhead research on high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices using premium compound semiconductor materials and intricate heterostructures. Investigations also focus on epitaxial growth of compound semiconductors, utilizing three molecular beam epitaxy systems and one metal-organic chemical vapor deposition setup to explore novel materials and facilitate device development.
