Projects done during internship at IMEC

Projects

Fabrication and characterization of the GaN High electron mobility transistors with eld plates

to allow device operation at higher drain bias. Promotor: Prof. Gustaf Borghs Work done under

the guidance of Jo Derulyn

Optimisation of annealed ohmic contacts on GaN HEMTs Promotor: Prof. Gustaf Borghs Work

B.Tech project

Simulation of point defects in GaN as a function of material stoichiometry. The project aimed at

improving the activation of Magnesium as a p-type dopant, by studying its interaction with the

native defects present in the material. Guide: Dr. Deepak Gupta, Department of MME, Indian

Institute of Technology Kanpur (Aug 2004- April 2005)
