WBG/UWBG Semiconductor Materials, Devices, and Applications
Wide Bandgap (WBG) & Ultra-Wide Bandgap (UWBG) Semicondcutors for Future Electronics
We are the WBG & UWBG Group led by Dr. Kai Fu in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Utah.
Our research focuses on WBG and UWBG semiconductors (GaN, AlN, Ga2O3, BN, diamond, GeO2), material science, nanofabrication, device reliability, heterojunction, power electronics, adn high-temperature electronics.
