Jen-Inn Chyi received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan in 1982 and 1984, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, in 1990. His Ph.D. dissertation dealt with molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) growth and characterization of InSb on GaAs.
In 1991, he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering, National Central University, Taiwan. Since then, he has established MBE, MOVPE, and high-speed optoelectronic devices laboratories, which house growth and characterization facilities for various III-V materials and devices. He was the Director of Optical Sciences Center, NCU from 2000 to 2007, Dean of the College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, NCU from 2006 to 2011, and Vice President of National Applied Research Laboratories from 2012-2015. He is currently Chair Professor and Executive Vice President of National Central University.
In this lab, we develop novel III-V compound semiconductor devices using MBE and MOCVD technology for various applications, such as wireless communications, power electronics, thermal imaging, displays, and emerging memory cells. Students have the opportunity to do device processing and TCAD simulation.
Current research projects include GaSb-based mid-infrared photodetectors, GaN-based power devices, millimeter wave devices, and biosensors. He is also developing h-BN MOCVD epitaxial growth technologies on Si and foreign substrates.
Professor Chyi has authored and co-authored 376 journal papers and been granted about 60 patents. He received the Distinguished Research Award of National Science Council in 2002, 2009, and 2013, the Distinguished Professor Award of the Chinese Institute of Electrical Engineering in 2004, the Industrial Contribution Award of Ministry of Economic Affairs in 2008, the Distinguished Technology Transfer Award of National Science Council in 2012, the Outstanding Researcher Award of Pan Wen Yuan Foundation in 2015, Specially Appointed Research Fellow, Ministry of Science and Technology in 2016 and 2019, Electrical Engineering Medal, The Chinese Institute of Electrical Engineering in 2020, Academic Award, CTCI Foundation, 2020, Merit NSTC (National Science and Technology Council) Research Fellow in 2022, and Photonics Medal, Taiwan Photonics Society in 2024.
He was a Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE EDS, an Associate Editor of IEEE Photonics Technology Letters and an Overseas Editor of Japanese Journal of Applied Physics. Dr. Chyi is a member of Phi Tau Phi, and Fellow of IEEE and SPIE.
