Jacob T. Boyer

This researcher works on high-efficiency GaAs and III-V semiconductor solar cells, focusing on new methods for growing these materials on cheaper substrates like silicon or reused GaAs wafers using techniques such as hydride and organometallic vapor phase epitaxy. The work involves understanding crystal defects, surface smoothing, and passivation layers to improve solar cell efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs. There is also a more recent, seemingly unrelated publication on silicon quantum processing hardware.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, peaking around 2019-2021 and 2023, with a gap in 2025 followed by new activity in 2026, suggesting an active but variable and possibly recently shifting research focus.
