Thin-Film Electronics Laboratory

RESHAPING THE FUTURE OF ELECTRONICS

Our group develops new electronics technology based on thin-film semiconductors, materials that offer improved functionality and flexibility in a wide range of applications.

We study the fundamental properties of electronic materials that can be deposited as or assembled into nanometer scale thin layers. Organic semiconductors, oxides, graphene, perovskites and nanoparticles are our current focus. We explore advanced processing to prepare functional films and examine their physical, chemical and electrical characteristics.

Field-effect transistors, solar cells, light-emitting diodes, sensors and memories are some of the representative devices that we build in our lab. We investigate their performance, power consumption, manufacturing sustainability and operational stability to demonstrate their use in future wearables, immersive displays, advanced computing, intelligent healthcare and more.

We also create analytical and numerical models that quantify electronic, photonic, and excitonic processes governing thin-film devices. These models help clarify their operating mechanism and accelerate their large-scale deployment. With our models, researchers can design, fabricate and optimize their devices in a more targeted and predictive manner.
