Research Areas: In the Semiconductor Characterization laboratory, Prof. Dr. Under the coordination of Orhan Özdemir, the characteristics of thin film materials and devices consisting of different elements and compounds are examined electrically with the help of temperature-dependent current-voltage and admittance spectroscopy, and optical spectroscopy methods as photo/electro luminescence (PL/EL). Laboratory infrastructure owned; While scanning the frequency range of 5Hz-13 MHz in ac analyzes, the sample temperature can be changed up to 77-450 K with the help of a liquid nitrogen-cooled creostat. In DC analysis, the current values passing through the sample can be measured in the range of 10-15-3 Amperes (A) and at all temperatures (77-450K) that can be scanned. Light emanating from quantum pit infrared photoconductors devices (QWIP) and light emitting arrays in p-i-n structures with and without quantum pits can be detected in the ultraviolet, UV (200 nanometers) and far infrared (3 micrometers) regions. Moreover, silicon heterojunction-based solar cells called heterojunction with thin intrinsic layer (HIT) existing in p-i-n structure, GaAs-based p-i-n solar cells that can work both in laboratory and industrial scales can be studied for laboratory scale extra-atmospheric applications. Finally, the pixel (pixel) group, which is formed by the integration of thin-film transistor (TFT) and light-emitting strings (LED), has been one of the study subjects of the group. Thus, a wide spectrum can be scanned in material and device examination.
Keywords: LED, LASER, temperature dependent current-voltage, admittance spectroscopy, photoluminescence / electroluminescence.
