Indian-American Rajendra Singh Named White House's Solar Champions Of Change
In 1980, he joined Energy Conversion Devices, Inc as Senior Research Scientist and worked on amorphous silicon solar cells and thermoelectric devices.
Singh's research contributions have been primarily in the field of rapid thermal processing, ultra-thin gate dielectrics, low and high-k dielectrics, superconductivity, manufacturing of silicon integrated circuits, and solar cells, thermoelectric devices, nanotechnology and local DC electricity.
He was the first one to report the fundamental differences between furnace processing and rapid thermal processing.
His work on rapid thermal processing has led to various new applications, such as novel chemical vapor deposition techniques for the deposition of high- and low-dielectric constant materials and manufacturing of solar cells.
His fundamental work has served as an initial incubator to the rapid thermal processing (RTP) technology and the related semiconductor equipment manufacturing industry is now valued at over one billion dollars per year, as he has discovered several of the concepts used in the commercial RTP tools.
The use of RTP in solar cells manufacturing is mainly due to Singh's contributions.
His work on solar cells is a part of many recent textbooks on solar cells and has been cited by researchers throughout the world.
