Project
PREP0002433
Overview

Operando-based PEEM can provide insight to the role of defects on the device functionality and failure mechanisms. We will apply these techniques to wide bandgap semiconductors that are promising for high power electronics which still require substantial material and device development.

We will develop and apply laser-based photon sources and operando device methods to the PEEM (photoemission electron microscope) to advance metrology capability and apply it to advancing power electronics to correlate between defects, microstructure, and electronic structure.
