Thin Films
Gallium nitride (GaN), a wide bandgap semiconductor, has few superior material properties such as: a large electric breakdown field, high electron velocity, and mobility, which makes it a potential candidate for next generation electrical and optoelectrical applications. At present, most of the GaN growth is done on relatively expensive substrates i.e. sapphire and SiC by […]
Cost Effective Membranes
We are currently designing a low-cost water pressure sensor chip. The main functions of these chips are seen in every day utilities, in every day water utilities and applications such as automated water fixtures, washing machines, etc. Our goal is to create cost effective, multiple application devices using advanced materials and properties such as piezoelectric […]
