LINDSEYLab represents the focused efforts of several motivated undergraduate students to research novel, low-cost methodologies for fabricating high-quality semiconductor thin films with various desirable optical and electronic properties. Not only do these talented undergraduate students constantly push the envelope to develop new crystal-growth technologies, but each student researcher is trained on multiple characterization instruments that enable us to investigate the crystallographic, morphological, electronic, and optical properties of the samples grown in our lab.

The current goals of LINDSEYLab involve the realization and development of novel growth and alloying methodologies to fabricate high-quality crystalline semiconductor thin films using low-cost, low-energy benchtop setups. Our current efforts are primarily focused on electrochemical growth of III-V semiconductor systems (GaAs, GaSb, InGaAs, InGaSb) and magnetron sputtering of metallic films (In, Cu, etc), but we have a major thrust in integrating 3D-printed methodologies into our growth processes.
