SUMMARY:ECE Distinguished Speaker Seminar Series: Professor Grace Xing
DESCRIPTION:AlN – a New Platform for Electronics\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract:AlN has been ardently pursued as one of the most promising ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors (UWBGs) after GaN and SiC as the industry has been expanding rapidly on the high-volume manufacturing of GaN and SiC based technologies\, including 12-inch GaN-on-Si\, 8-inch SiC substrates and processing foundries etc. AlN is CMOS compatible with high thermal conductivity\, high acoustic velocity and a rich family of heterostructures. Recently\, Sc-\, B- and Y-doped AlN alloys have garnered tremendous interest for their ferroelectric behavior. In this talk\, I will focus on findings in our journey to develop new electronic devices on AlN in the past two decades.  \n\n\n\nWurtzite III-nitrides are well known as a family of polar semiconductors. When sandwiching a narrow gap III-nitride layer with wider gap barrier materials\, one interface is characterized as the negative polarization charge interface while the other as the positive polarization charge interface. The polarization charges are fixed in space and emanating electric field while the entire material stack will do everything it can to minimize its total free energy due to the thermodynamic driving force. As a result\, compensating charges can be generated: either mobile charge carriers including delocalized electrons and holes\, or charged defect states that are localized in the real and energy space. If undesired defect formation is sufficiently suppressed in the heterostructure\, mobile charge carriers will be generated and can be harvested for electronic applications. To this end\, we succeeded in generating both mobile electrons and holes in thin GaN quantum well sandwiched by AlN. I will discuss how we generate and detect these mobile charges\, and some demonstrated utilities in terms of fundamental understanding and practical applications. \n\n\n\nProfessor Grace Xing\n\n\n\nBio:Huili Grace Xing is currently the Director of SUPREME – a SRC JUMP2.0 research center\, the William L. Quackenbush Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, Materials Science and Engineering at Cornell University\, and has recently served as the Associate Dean for Research & Graduate Studies of the College of Engineering. \n\n\n\nShe is a recipient of the AFOSR Young Investigator Award\, NSF CAREER Award\, ISCS Young Scientist Award\, the Intel Outstanding Researcher Award\, and the SIA/SRC University Researcher Award. She is a fellow of APS\, IEEE & AAAS. \n\n\n\nXing received a B.S. in physics from Peking University\, M.S. in Material Science from Lehigh University and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from University of California\, Santa Barbara\, respectively. She was a faculty member with the University of Notre Dame from 2004 to 2014. Her research focuses on development of III-V nitrides\, 2-D crystals\, oxide semiconductors\, recently also multiferroics & magnetic materials: growth\, electronic and optoelectronic devices\, especially the interplay between material properties and device development for high performance devices\, including RF/THz devices\, tunnel field effect transistors\, power electronics\, DUV emitters and memories. Together with her colleague Debdeep Jena\, they were the first to demonstrate distributed polarization doping (DPD)\, especially the p-type DPD in nitride semiconductors. This doping scheme is fundamentally different from impurity doping and modulation doping\, thus dubbed as the 3rd generation of doping science by Xing. Polarization doping is particularly powerful in polar ultrawide bandgap semiconductors since it might be the only known method to achieve both n-type and p-type in an UWBG semiconductor with doping properties akin to shallow impurity dopants. \n\n\n\nXing has delivered 200+ invited talks and seminars\, and has authored/co-authored 350+ journal papers including Nature journals\, Physical Review Letters\, Applied Physics Letters\, Electron Device Letters\, and 140+ conference proceeding publications in IEDM\, ISPSD etc. Her h-index is 89 on google scholar.

SUMMARY:ECE Distinguished Speaker Seminar Series: Professor Zetian Mi
DESCRIPTION:Nanoscale and Polarization Engineering: Unlocking New Frontiers with III-Nitrides\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: Wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconductors offer unprecedented opportunities to address some of the most critical challenges we face in the next decades: energy efficiency\, clean energy\, environmental sustainability\, and quantum information. In this talk\, I will present some recent advances of nanoscale and polarization engineering of (ultra)wide bandgap III-nitride semiconductors and their emerging applications in next-generation microelectronics and photonics. By exploiting the strong excitonic effect in extreme quantum-confined nanostructures\, conventional low-efficiency AlGaN can be turned into high-brightness deep-ultraviolet emitters\, which offer the only alternative technology to replace mercury lamps for water purification/disinfection. The strong excitonic effect can be further exploited to achieve ultrahigh efficiency nano-LEDs to power future virtual/augmented reality. I will also discuss the recent discovery of ferroelectricity in III-nitride semiconductors\, which leads to dramatically enhanced linear and nonlinear optical properties\, piezoelectric response\, and reconfigurability\, that are urgently needed for integrated quantum photonics for information processing\, acousto-electronics for 5G/6G technologies\, memory-in-computing in harsh environments\, and light-driven artificial photosynthesis for clean energy. \n\n\n\nProfessor Zetian Mi\n\n\n\nBio: Zetian Mi is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Pallab K. Bhattacharya Collegiate Professor of Engineering at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. His teaching and research interests are in the areas of semiconductor nanotechnology\, optoelectronics\, and photonics. He is a recipient of Optica’s Nick Holonyak\, Jr. Award (2025)\, AVS NSTD Nanotechnology Recognition Award (2025)\, ISCS Quantum Devices Award (2024)\, Science and Engineering Award from W. M. Keck Foundation (2020)\, IEEE Photonics Society Distinguished Lecturer Award (2021)\, and IEEE Nanotechnology Council Distinguished Lecturer Award (2020). At the University of Michigan\, he received the David E. Liddle Research Excellence Award (2021)\, Rexford E. Hall Innovation Excellence Award (2024)\, and Wise-Najafi Prize for Engineering Excellence in the Miniature World (2025). He is a fellow of IEEE\, APS\, Optica\, and SPIE. He is a co-founder of NS Nanotech Inc. and NX Fuels Inc.
