Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Dupuis is an international authority in the area of optoelectronic and electronic devices as well as III-V semiconductor materials. He developed the first high-performance metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) epitaxial growth systems for III-V compound semiconductors and demonstrated the first III-V solar cells and laser diodes, including the first room-temperature quantum-well lasers, grown by MOCVD, a process which is currently in worldwide use for the large-scale production of visible LEDs, high-speed optical communication system components and solar cells. In Germany, Professor Dupuis will focus on the wide-bandgap III-N compound semiconductor system and the creation of novel nanostructure devices in these materials.
