A/Prof. Umana-Membreno is a Principal Research Fellow with the Microelectronics Research Group (MRG) at The University of Western Australia (UWA), and a Senior Industry Support Engineer at the WA-node of the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF).
His areas of interest, expertise and experience, are in semiconductor optoelectronic and electronic devices, including infrared sensor and imaging technology. His research activities encompass device design and modelling, device performance characterisation, failure analysis, reliability-focused device and process design and optimisation, and heterogeneous integration. At UWA he offers specialist expertise in advanced electronic transport characterisation, and in the characterisation and modelling of defects-related and radiation-induced effects in microelectronic and optoelectronic materials and devices. He has published more than 100 articles on his research activities.
He currently leads the advanced device design, material/device characterisation/optimisation and integration efforts at the MRG, primarily in infrared sensing materials and devices (HgCdTe). His current research interests include material and devices aspects associated with the following technologies:
* Infrared sensors/Imagers for quantum sensing applications (ultra-high QE, photon-counting APDs)
* Group III-V type-II superlattices, SiGeSn, and InAsSb (infrared photodetectors)
* Electronic transport in nanostructures and novel/emerging semiconductor materials
* Wide bandgap materials and devices (inc. SiC- and GaN-based sensors)
