Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Shui-Qing Yu's research focuses on semiconductor materials and devices, with a particular emphasis on Germanium-Tin (GeSn) alloys for mid-infrared (MIR) applications. His work investigates the fundamental properties and performance limits of these materials for use in photodetectors and lasers.

Yu's recent publications include studies on electrically injected GeSn lasers achieving peak wavelengths up to 2.7 μm, and the achievable performance of uncooled homojunction GeSn mid-infrared photodetectors. He also examines the correlation between dislocation generation, strain relief, and tin outdiffusion in thermally annealed GeSn epilayers, as well as nanoscale mapping of short-range order in these alloys. His research has contributed to understanding the performance limits of GeSn infrared photodiodes, notably through the "GeSn Rule-23."

His scholarly contributions are reflected in a high-impact designation, with 338 total publications, 5,132 total citations, and an h-index of 36. Yu has served as Co-PI on two NSF grants totaling over $1.5 million, including support for a novel approach to new semiconductor materials for infrared detection and the Center for High-Frequency Electronics and Circuits for Communication Systems. He leads a research group and collaborates with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Wei Du, Hryhorii Stanchu, Yuriy I. Mazur, and Solomon Ojo.
