SEMICONDUCTOR PHYSICS LABORATORY

The principal area of research in the Semiconductor physics Laboratory is the study of defects in crystalline semiconductors. The crystalline semiconductors under study in the laboratory include both elemental semiconductors such as Si, SiC and III-V compounds such as GaP, Ga(In,As)P and GaN. The experimental techniques used for characterization of defects include Junction space-charge techniques such as Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS), Optical-DLTS and Photo capacitance. A number of deep-level defect traps have been studied in detail and results reported in international journals and conferences.

FUTURE INTERESTS
New techniques of semiconductor material preparation such as MOCVD and MBE growth of semiconductors. Admittance spectroscopy, High resolution DLTS system and X-ray Diffraction.
