Overview
Studying fundamental sciences is the key factor for technological development, as this allows the researchers to better understand the natural phenomena behind human discoveries. In the context of semiconductor innovation, for example, the physics principles of carrier recombination and the importance of quantum mechanics, including carrier quantum confinement, localization, and their effects on the carrier wavefunction, need to be studied in order to ensure efficient semiconductor-based devices.
Mainly, technology based on wide bandgap semiconductors as high-energy optoelectronics based on these materials that operate at the deep UV and UV spectral ranges got scientists attention due to their use for many applications in different fields, such as medical treatment, astronomy investigations, material analysis, missile detection, space communications, security systems, and x-ray imaging. Learn more with this Investigating the Carrier Dynamics of Emerging Wide Band Gap Semiconductor for Novel Optoelectronic Applications (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) .
