Electronic material research has been an ongoing effort for more than twenty years, specializing in the growths of thin-film semiconductors and their characterization for device applications. Current interests lie in the epitaxial growth and characterization of GaAsSb and InP materials. The Rockwell Solid Stat Electronics Laboratory, established in 1977, anchors the research in III-V materials, while the Microelectronics Fabrication Laboratory, initiated by the Microelectronics Center of North Carolina, houses the silicon-based material effort. Current materials growth capabilities include liquid phase electroepitaxy, vapor phase epitaxy, molecular beam epitaxy, and plasma deposition. Complementary material and device characterization techniques are available, such as 4K photoluminenescence, photo reflectance, ellipsometer, C-V, I-V, Hall effect, SEM/EDX. and high resolution s-ray diffraction. Photolithography and electron beam evaporation facilities are available foe fabrication of device structures. Optical communication and sensing research investigates optical device functions for communication, computing, and sensing application. |
