LABORATORY OF SEMICONDUCTING MATERIALS SCIENCE

Head of Laboratory: Ph.D., Chief Researcher,  Ia Kurashvili

Scientific Directions:

• Technology for obtaining bulk crystals, polished substrates, and p-n structures  of semiconducting materials ;
•  Semiconducting Materials Science.


 Laboratory of Semiconducting Materials Science conducts works on obtaining by Czochralski method mono- and polycrystalline Si, Ge and SiGe alloys doped with donor and acceptor impurities, preparing high quality polished substrates and creating p-n structures based on them by different technologies and diagnostics of their electrophysical properties.

 Research works on crystallographic orientations and structural defects characteristics in semiconducting substrates and profile samples by X-ray diffraction and optical metallographic methods.

 Formation of p-n structures and ohmic contacts on SiGe substrates by boron and phosphorus high-temperature diffusion and diagnostics of their electrophysical and optical characteristics, for creation of photovoltaics and near-infrared range photodetectors.
