NRL Wide and Ultrawide Bandgap Materials and Devices

Due: May 1, 2025

$99,200

Description

Silicon-based devices are rapidly approaching fundamental performance limits; therefore, next-generation computing and power switching needs require advanced high-performance devices based on novel electronic materials. To meet these requirements, wide-bandgap materials such as GaN, SiC, and Diamond have been proposed for power switching and RF devices. This research opportunity will (1) study the fundamentals of dopant activation in wide-bandgap materials, (2) develop high voltage III-N, III-O, and Diamond power devices, and (3)...

Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
