ShanghaiTech GaNology Lab
上科大氮化镓电子器件实验室
About GaNology Lab
The lab name "GaNology" could be understood in two ways:
(1) Our research interest mainly lies next generation GaNology (GaN technology), specifically GaN electronic and photonic devices and their applications in power electronics, opto-electronics (light emitters, photodetectors, etc), and radio frequency modules. These are areas GaN will play a important role in and the focus of the LAB.
(2) We are aiming to foster graduate students and researchers with expertise in emerging device/modules/systems, and members of our group are expected to receive hands-on training and gain knowledge, which sounds similar to "GaNology".
About GaN
Gallium nitride (GaN), a wide band gap semiconductor material, is a new technology that has moved from labs to markets. GaN industrial devices offer an advantage with regards to thermal performance, efficiency, weight and size. GaN is anticipated to be the next generation semiconductor for optoelectronic/power/RF applications and thus different countries are indulged in developing widespread applications of GaN semiconductors.
One should note that there are a number of things that cannot YET be made from silicon (you must be quite familiar with~): Light emitting diodes, Laser diodes, Ultraviolet detectors, High speed electronic system (40GHz for fiber telecommunication), High temperature electronics operating above 200 DegC. Again, those are opportunities for GaN and compound semiconductors.
If GaN sounds unfamiliar to you, the following reading materials might help:
