Nominator's project description
| The Humboldt Research Award is granted to Professor Schubert for his sustained contributions in the field of compound semiconductor doping and semiconductor light-emitting devices. He pioneered the development on "delta doped" semiconductors with very thin doping layers. Today, delta-doped semiconductors are routinely used in the fabrication of high-electron-mobility transistors. He also invented and demonstrated the resonant-cavity light emitting diode which is the first practical microcavity device and is amoung the world's brightest light emitting diodes. |
