My major now is the theoretical study in Physics of Electronic Materials. My interest in electronics has emerged when I was studying in the Masters degree. After finishing my undergraduate study, Electronic Materials has always been the subject that fascinate me most with its power of applications and theoretical study. It is also obvious that I was deeply learning this area during my Masters degree. I have ta en some courses such as !ptoelectronic, "olid "tate Electronic #evice I and II, Advanced "olid "tate Physics, $hrystal %rowth and #efect &heory, Material "tructure and Properties, "emiconductor #evices 'abrication, and Principles "emiconductor #evices &heory. All those courses have developed some good concepts and understanding of how to find "pectrum Energy in (uantum #ot "tructure, how to investigate Al%aAs)%aAs wor s and electron transport in "emiconductor. &hey were the seeds of my research. I am now conducting a research is about how to find E*act Analytical "olutions #escribing (uantum #ot in "emiconductor Materials. &his is not a new area because for more than two decades many researchers had wor ed in this field. +owever, the uni,ueness of my research is found in the way that how I made the theoretical concept in the spectrum energy of semiconductor materials. -ntil now, I have only studied "emiconductor Materials and #evices in the theoretical concepts because laboratory e,uipments in my country are not ade,uate, so I want to study it in e*perimental research for then. &he Electronic Materials research in "emiconductor Materials and #evices is not popular in my province and institution .-niversity of +/0P 1ommensen2, so I want to develop it in my institution. 3eflected on those situations and after seeing the website of the #epartment of Electronic Engineering, 1&-"&, and consulting with the members of 1&-"&4 I"A .Indonesian "tudent Association2, I came to the conclusion that the #epartment of Electronic Engineering in 1&-"& is the best place for me to continue, improve, and ma e a new direction of my research field. If I can get the opportunity to be the part of 1&-"& intellectual stimulating environment and community, I am sure that my talents and time will be put to the optimal use to wor on reserarh area of the Investigation of %aAs)Al%aAs (uantum #ot "tructure and "emiconductor Materials and #evices. Moreover, I want to build mutual relationship with both my institution -niversity of +/0P 1ommensen Medan and 1&-"&.

STUDY PLAN (Marojahan Tampubolon) I have graduated from #epartment of Electrical Engineering, -niversity of "umatera -tara, the biggest university in 1orth "umatera, Indonesia. I am interested in Electrical Enginering since I was in primary school. 1ow, I am wor ing as non4permanent lecturer in a private college in Medan the capital city of 1orth "umatera. 'or me, to be a lecturer is not only about job. 0ut the main reason for me is because of calling. I want to devote my self to develop sciences and technology in my country Indonesia. 'or this purpose, I have a strong willingness to continue my study to the ne*t level, pursuing master and even doctor degree. I reali7e that studying and research much more will ma*ima7e my potency to be a scientist and reseacher who have high competence. 0ecause of the funding reason, I search for scholarship program to get master degree. In the past I have tried to apply to 1&-"& scholarship program for spring 89:8. I accepted in %raduate Program in Electrical Engineering #epartment without scholarship. 0ecause of this condition, I couldnt attend the program because I cannot fund my self by my self. &he same reason problem will be happen if I am accepted without scholarship. 1ow, I apply to the same scholarship program as before, but in a different department. I want to continue to study in Master #egree in Electronic #epartment, "pecially in Power Electronic. 0esides because I li e electronic field, another reason is because I now that electronic technology is very important in automatitation technology. &he integration of electronic and power will give a wide effect for human being. 3eliability, ,uality and efficiency of electric power are related to reliability of electronic systems. I want to go deep into the improvement of power ,uality and efficiency by electronic engineering. In undergraduated program I studied some courses which are related to that goal. "ome of them are 0asic Electronics, 0asic of #igital Enggineering, Microproscessor "ystem, Electric $ircuit, 0asic of $ontrol "ystems, and Power Electronics. 0eside those courses, my job as a lecturer that teach 0asic Electronics and the basic understanding of electronic software also has e,uiped me to go to the ne*t level of this field of study. &o understand more about Power Electronics and to prepare my self for the better foundation of Power Electronics, now, I am studying some boo s by my self. &hose boo s are 'undamental of Power Electronics .Eric son, 3obert ;, 89992 and Introduction to Power Electronic .<alery <odovo7o7, 89:92. I hope that I have more time to study the other boo s. 'or adviser if I accepted in this program, I have re,uested by email the readinees of Prof. =u /ang 5o as my adviser. And he replied that he ready to be my adviser, and welcomed me to join the team in his lab. "o, I hope to join this team in laboratory to improve my selft and give my contribution to the team. &aiwan is a country which has a very rapid growing in lectronic techology. "o, I thin this country is the best choice to study about electronics. 1&-"& as the leading university in &aiwan is the great place for me to grow and improving my self. I desire to be the part of this educated community, which will trigger my potential improvement. If I get the chance to join here, I will give my best perform and finish the master degree in 8 years. After completed this program, in the ne*t I want to continue to doctoral degree. If all of those

programs completed, my deepest commitment is to go bac to the university in Indonesia. &o be a lecturer and researcher is the most willingness of me. I have a desire to transfer and develop the nowledge that I have gained from this program to the students in Indonesia. I want to motivate and e,uip them to develop electonic field in practical application which can be use by the society, companies, government and private institution. "hare and spread the nowledge I have is the happines of live for me. "icerely yours Marojahan &ampubolon
