讚詞

該獎項授予陳敬教授，以表彰他對寬禁帶半導體電子器件和集成電路所做出的基礎性和變革性貢獻。陳教授在氮化鎵（GaN）增強型電晶體和功率集成方面的開創性工作為氮化鎵功率電子學的推進和商業化鋪平了道路，這是現代社會持續且最近加速的電氣化進程的關鍵推動因素。他領導了對氮化鎵功率開關器件穩定性和可靠性挑戰的重要機制的識別及確認，並因此開發了包括表面強化技術和雙通道設計在內的解決方案。近期在氮化鎵互補邏輯集成電路方面的工作將氮化鎵擴展到邏輯控制和門驅動的高能效功能單元方面發揮了重要作用，擴展了氮化鎵積體電路的疆域。

該獎項下的擬議研究將側重於通過氮化鎵和碳化硅的異質集成以及隧道結控制方案來釋放寬禁帶半導體的全部潛力。其目的在於激勵和培養下一代人才，以支持香港在微電子行業的發展。
