Ph.D. Electrical Engineering Stanford University 1975
- Research Statement:
- My current research focuses on 1) the development of ultra-high-speed GaAsSb-based heterojunction bipolar transistors with cutoff frequency near Tera Hz, 2) fundamental studies on fabricating hyper-uniform nanostructures using nano-imprint lithograph and in-situ processing technologies, and 3). exploring III-V alloy-based MOSFET technologies for future integrated circuits applications.
- Research Interests:
- Molecular beam epitaxy technology, optoelectronic and high speed devices, in-situ fabrication of nanostructures, and III-V MOSFETs.
