Talk by Dr. I. V. Bagal on Epitaxy of III-V Semiconductors: The ART of growing single crystals (12 March, 2024)
Semiconductors have been instrumental in propelling human progress, revolutionizing industries, and shaping the modern world as we know it. Dr. I. V. Bagal, a researcher at the Interuniversity Microelectronics Center in Leuven, Belgium, recently emphasized the pivotal role of epitaxy technology in producing high-quality semiconductors during a lecture titled "Epitaxy of III-V Semiconductors: The ART of growing single crystals" at the Department of Physics, Shivaji University, Kolhapur.
The event commenced with an
introduction of the speaker by Dr. V. S. Kumbhar. Epitaxy technology, as
explained by Dr. Bagal, holds the key to enhancing the performance and
longevity of semiconductor devices. By modifying the properties of
semiconductors through epitaxy, researchers can improve their electrical
conductivity, thereby meeting the escalating demand for superior semiconductor
materials driven by the proliferation of electronic devices.
In his insightful lecture, Dr.
Bagal elucidated the significance of semiconductors in controlling and managing
current in electronic devices, ranging from computer chips to solid-state
storage solutions. Epitaxial technology, he emphasized, plays a crucial role in
making these devices more efficient and durable, thereby advancing
technological capabilities across various sectors.
Furthermore, Dr. Bagal underscored the growing demand for skilled manpower in semiconductor manufacturing, emphasizing the abundance of opportunities available in this field. With the continuous evolution of electronic devices and technologies, the need for high-quality semiconductors is only expected to rise, presenting ample prospects for those pursuing careers in this domain.
The lecture culminated in an engaging question-and-answer session, where students actively participated, showcasing their enthusiasm for the subject matter. Prof. Dr. Sonkawade, in his presidential speech, commended Dr. Bagal's contributions and highlighted his exemplary role in advancing semiconductor research.
The event concluded with
heartfelt thanks extended by Dr. S. S. Patil, acknowledging the collective
effort that contributed to the success of the lecture. Neha Shah and Sadhana
Parit, anchored the program, ensured its smooth execution. The presence of
faculty members, including Prof. (Dr.) K. Y. Rajpure, Dr. M. V. Takale, Dr. S.
P. Das, Dr. U. M. Chaugule, and Dr. A. R. Patil, along with enthusiastic
students, further enriched the intellectual discourse surrounding semiconductor
research.
