Center for Semiconductor Devices and Nanotechnologies
The Center creates and researches sensors with optimized parameters based on thick and thin films of semiconductor metal oxides and nanocomposite materials, with flexible and rigid substrates, which become the basis for the design and manufacture of air quality monitoring systems, as well as for the development of new types of equipment for non-invasive diagnostics of various diseases. In addition, Schottky diodes operating in the mid-infrared range are created and researched based on quantum dots, and a technology for manufacturing controlled terahertz photonics elements based on graphene-liquid crystal structures is being developed. New methods of operation of nanoscale biological sensors for virus detection are theoretically investigated and proposed, the band structure of bilayer graphene is studied, and new solid-state electrolytes with optimized parameters are predicted.
The center has two separate laboratories: Computational Materials Science and Advanced Functional Materials.
Thus, the main scientific directions of the center are:
Semiconductor nanostructured sensors
Growth and research of A3B5-type nanostructured materials.
New generation optical elements and thin film technologies.
Theoretical research of low-frequency noise and electron transport processes in graphene.
Research of DNA molecules (preparation of biosensors).
Prediction of new types of materials.
Preparation and research of 2D and Van der Waals materials.
The center has facilities for obtaining semiconductor thin films by various methods, such as automated, computer-controlled systems for measuring electrophysical, photocatalytic, and optical parameters of semiconductor devices and structures.
