Prof. Bayram awarded ONR Grant, $885,000 for five-years
The goal is to explore and innovate electronic grade cubic GaN, that can enable widebandgap superjunction power electronics, a critical electronic device towards ONR’s mission.
Higher Educational Initiative in Semiconductors (HIVE) funded by INTEL
Higher Educational Initiative in Semiconductors (HIVE), led by University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and co-led by Stanford University and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (RHIT), will prepare a diverse, next-generation workforce via experiential learning (online and hands-on) for the US semiconductor industry and microelectronics industry to help maintain its technological leadership. The HIVE is founded […]
Thank you, Prof. Holonyak
Prof. Nick Holonyak – inventor of the light-emitting diode (LED) and a contributor to the first practical quantum well laser, which enabled modern fiber optics communication. Your bright light will be with us forever.
Prof. Bayram gave a Plenary Award talk
titled “Cubic-phase III-nitrides for Next Generation Quantum Devices” at the The World General Congress for Optics and Photonics of the International Commission for Optics (ICO) and the international society on Optics Within Life Sciences (OWLS), Dresden, Germany.
Open Boundary Quantum LED Simulator is now available
Open Boundary Quantum LED Simulator (OBQ-LEDsim) is the next-generation self-consistent quantum-corrected drift-diffusion simulator that eliminates artificial boundaries between quantum wells and classical continuum. It Eliminates the discontinuities of carrier concentrations caused by the artificial boundary conditions, Numerically captures the wavefunction penetration into barriers and other regions, Models the recombination rates outside active regions with higher […]
