9909833HuangThis award provides supplementary funding to ECS 9733121 to support cooperative research, and training opportunities for U.S. students at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). Through this collaboration, researchers and students at Virginia Tech will have access to a very advanced microelectronic fabrication facility at HKUST and a state of the art clean room facility for their work on fabricating a new class of power semiconductor devices. Semiconductor power devices form the heart of power electronics and are very important to the U.S. economy. More specifically, they form the heart of the Power Electronics Building Block (PEBB). The objective of the proposed research is to develop a new class of power semiconductor devices, the emitter-controlled thyristors (ECTs) for the PEBB.This award adds an international dimension to planned educational activities in the original CAREER award, and will help equip students to develop international competence. The collaboration with Hong Kong will contribute to technological innovations that will serve our societal and national goals.

9909833Huang该奖项为ECS 9733121提供补充资金，以支持合作研究，并为香港科技大学（HKUST）的美国学生提供培训机会。 通过这项合作，弗吉尼亚理工大学的研究人员和学生将有机会使用科大非常先进的微电子制造设施和最先进的洁净室设施，用于制造新型功率半导体器件。 半导体功率器件是电力电子的核心，对美国经济非常重要。 更具体地说，它们构成了电力电子构建模块（PEBB）的核心。 拟议研究的目标是开发一种新型功率半导体器件，即PEBB的发射极控制晶闸管（ECTs）。该奖项为原CAREER奖项中计划的教育活动增加了国际层面，并将有助于培养学生的国际能力。 与香港的合作将有助于技术创新，以服务于我们的社会和国家目标。
