About

Professor Cheng received the Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, Stanford, California in 1975. From 1975 to 1979, he was a faculty member with the Department of Electrical Engineering, Chung-Cheng Institute of Technology in Taiwan. In 1979, he joined Dr. A. Y. Cho’s group at Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ, where he began research in molecular bean epitaxy (MBE) technology. His research in this area led to the development of rotating substrate holder for uniform MBE growth, the enhancement of electron mobility in modulation doped GaInAs/AlInAs/InP heterostructures, and the first demonstration of GaInAs/AlInAs/InP HEMT. The rotating sample holder design becomes an indispensable component of MBE systems and is now a standard feature of every modern production
