Semiconductor device fabrication encompasses the materials, processes, and integration schemes used to build electronic and optoelectronic components on the wafer scale. Work in this area spans growth and patterning of 2D and ultrawide-bandgap semiconductors, advanced CMOS and power transistor architectures, and integration of organic, oxide, and nitride materials. It also includes thermoelectric and ferroelectric thin films, metrology for transport and thermal properties, defect and vacancy engineering, and additive or transfer-based manufacturing routes for flexible, high-density, and cryogenic-compatible microchips and displays.
