Jan Grahn
I am exploring low-noise semiconductor devices. My driving force is to break the current sensitivity limit for transistor-based amplifiers in the microwave- and millimeterwave range. My research team has demonstrated transistors with a noise level just a few times the quantum noise limit. The device is a high-electron mobility transistor using an InAlAs- InGaAs heterojunction. Our research considers material science, transistor technology, device physics, electrical modelling, microwave amplifier design and high-frequency measurements. Our results have impact on quantum computing, radio astronomy and climate satellites. From our group, Low Noise Factory AB was started which delivers amplifier products to nearly every quantum group worldwide. I am teaching Electrical Circuits and Systems at Engineering Physics B.Sc. programme. I also give a Ph.D. course on High-Speed Transistors every second year.
