Imec, Taiyo Nippon Sanso Combine On Green Light-emitting Diodes

摘要

IMEC, a leading independent European nanoelectronics research institute, and Japan's Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corp, a total solution provider in the compound semiconductor field, have signed an agreement to jointly develop manufacturing technology for high efficiency light-emitting diode (LED) devices. There is an increasing demand to develop brighter green LEDs for future applications such as back lights for high vision LCD television. Under the agreement, Taiyo Nippon Sanso and IMEC will develop high-efficiency green LED device manufacturing technology, based on IMEC's compound semiconductors device technology. Research is mainly carried out at the IMEC facilities in Leuven, Belgium and builds on IMEC's expertise in strain engineering on large wafer diameter, supported by in-situ growth monitoring.
