DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Emerging semiconductor materials routinely demonstrat
 e compelling intrinsic properties: wide bandgaps\, high breakdown fields\,
  and exceptional high-frequency potential\, yet only a small fraction ever
  becomes ubiquitous technologies. The limiting factor is rarely a single d
 evice metric\; it is the absence of a scalable\, repeatable engineering pa
 thway that turns a material into a reliable platform.\nIn this invited tal
 k\, I will present a holistic framework for accelerating the adoption of e
 merging compound semiconductors built on three coupled pillars. First\, se
 lective and controllable (“programmable”) doping is essential to enabl
 e low-resistance contacts\, stable junctions\, and manufacturable device a
 rchitectures. Second\, integrated thermal design must be treated as a firs
 t-order constraint for high-power and harsh-environment operation\, and in
  practice this often requires heterogeneous integration of dissimilar mate
 rials to extract heat and eliminate thermal bottlenecks. Third\, radiation
  resilience is increasingly critical for high-power/high-frequency electro
 nics\, particularly as these systems move into space and other extreme ope
 rating environments where defects and trapping can dominate long-term stab
 ility.\nUsing III-nitride devices as a test vehicle \, I will show how thi
 s three-pillars approach forms a repeatable methodology that can be stress
 -tested\, refined\, and extended as each new compound semiconductor emerge
 s. The central message is simple: a material becomes ubiquitous only when 
 doping control\, heat extraction through integration\, and radiation robus
 tness are engineered together\, early\, intentionally\, and repeatably.\n\
