Abstract

Abstract : This Annual Report covers the twelve month period ranging from January 1, 1987 through December 31, 1987. The progress reported herein was accomplished during the second year of our current triennial technical program. Ten faculty members and approximately twenty graduate students from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Physics are conducting the research described in this report. The University of Texas DoD JSEP program is a broad-based program with four research units in Solid State Electronics, two in Electromagnetics, two in Quantum Electronics, and two in Information Electronics. The Solid State Electronics program involves the fundamental issues in semiconductor physics and technology and is designed to address basic problems which must be solved for the development of the next generation of electronic and optical devices. In the following significant accomplishments section, we summarize recent advances in molecular beam epitaxy for ultra-high speed device applications and ion implantation of InP. In the Electromagnetics area several novel monolithic millimeter-wave integrated circuit structures are being investigated for use as quasi-optical array elements.
