We are the WBG\/UWBG <\/span><\/b>Semiconductors and Devices Group<\/span> led by <\/b>Dr. Houqiang Fu<\/a> in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at ASU.<\/b><\/h4>\n

Our research explores novel materials and develops next-generation electronic and photonic\/optoelectronic devices and systems to address critical societal needs in Energy Efficiency, Computing, Communication, and Sensing, which are at the interdisciplinary intersection of electrical engineering, materials science, photonics, and physics.\u00a0 <\/b>We are currently working on exciting third-generation semiconductors, i.e., wide\/ultrawide bandgap (WBG\/UWBG) semiconductors such as GaN, gallium oxide, AlN, and BN.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our current research focuses on wide bandgap semiconductor (i.e., GaN and nitride alloys, Ga2<\/sub>O3<\/sub> and oxide alloys, AlN, and BN) materials, devices and systems for applications in electronics (e.g., power electronics and ICs, WBG CMOS and RRAM computing, RF\/microwave devices and MMICs, sensors) and photonics (e.g., optoelectronics, waveguides, nonlinear optics, quantum photonics). More details can be found in our Research<\/a> and Publications<\/a>.<\/p>\n
