E. Fred Schubert received his Ph. D. in Electrical Engineering
from the University of Stuttgart (Germany) in 1986. During 1985 to 1995, he worked for AT&T
Bell Laboratories in Holmdel and Murray Hill, New Jersey. In 1995, he joined Boston University as a Professor of Electrical Engineering. In 2002 he
was appointed Senior Constellation Professor of the Future Chip Constellation
at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy,
NY.
Dr. Schubert has made pioneering contributions to the
field of compound semiconductor materials and devices in particular to the
fields of alloy broadening, delta-doping, resonant-cavity light-emitting
diodes, elimination of unipolar heterojunction band discontinuities, p-type
superlattice doping in AlGaN, polarization-enhanced ohmic contacts, and
omni-directional reflectors for LEDs.
He is inventor or co-inventor of about 25 US patents and co-authored about 190 publications. He
authored a book on doping in III–V semiconductors (1992), edited a book on
delta doping in semiconductors (1996), and recently authored a book on
light-emitting diodes (2003). He is a Fellow of APS, IEEE, OSA, and SPIE. He
received the Alexander von Humboldt Senior Research Award, Discover Award,
R&D 100 Award, Boston University Provost Innovation Fund Award, and VDE
Literature Award for the book “Doping in III–V semiconductors”.
