Semiconductor Research Laboratory

A research group at Georgia Tech led by: Dr. Shyh-Chiang Shen

We do research on III-Nitride lasers, LEDs, detectors, and transistors.

Research interests

The SRL has actively research on III-nitride (III-N) devices since 2005. Major emphasis on these research projects focus on

Wide bandgap semiconductor device design, fabrication, and characterization
Expanded resarch toward high-performance III-N integrated circuits and integrated optoelectronics.

We have a 1,000 square-feet of class-1,000 cleanroom laboratory along with a semiconductor characterization room that is home to several semiconductor fabrication and measurement systems. We also access other fabrication facilities at Georgia Tech (such as MiRC and CCS) to conduct our research projects.

Our research focuses on wide-bandgap semiconductors, including their applications in optoelectronics and power electronics. The research is heavily sided on novel device design, validation, and manufactuable fabrication technology development. Read on for an explanation of why we concentrate on gallium nitride (GaN).
