PHOENIX, Nov. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- To address growing market demand for its compound semiconductor epitaxial deposition services, used primarily in making high-frequency ICs for wireless communication applications, Sumika Electronic Materials is installing an additional Aixtron 2600 G3 epi reactor to its foundry operation in Phoenix. "Our capacity expansion is in response to the steadily increasing demand we're seeing for our GaAs (gallium arsenide) epi wafer services from producers of HBT...
Hidden solar cellsConverting sunlight to electricity might no longer mean large panels of photovoltaic cells atop flat surfaces like roofs.Using zinc oxide nanostructures grown on optical fibers and coated with dye-sensitized solar cell materials, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new type of three-dimensional photovoltaic system. The approach could allow PV systems to be hidden from view and located away from traditional locations such as...
ALISO VIEJO, Calif. and SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- XsunX, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: XSNX.OB), the developer of advanced, thin-film photovoltaic (TFPV) solar cell technologies and manufacturing processes, and Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVAC), the world's leading provider of magnetic media deposition equipment to the hard disk drive (HDD) industry, announce that they are working under a Joint Business Agreement to collaborate in the development of techniques and...
PTB has for the first time made graphene visible on gallium arsenide "“ A successful combination of two unique electronic materialsIt is the marriage of two top candidates for the electronics of the future, both eccentric and extremely interesting: Graphene, one of the partners, is an extremely thin fellow and besides, very young. Not until 2004 was it possible to specifically produce and investigate the single layer of carbon atoms. Its electronic properties are remarkable, because, among...
