TOKYO, Aug 1, 2019 - (JCN Newswire) - - Showa Denko (SDK; TSE:4004) has developed a second generation high-grade silicon carbide (SiC) epitaxial wafer (HGE-2G) suitable for power semiconductors. SDK ...

South Korean researchers have developed a process to produce ultra-thin wafers without sacrificing any of the substrates. Their technique is based on a new approach involving the use of ...

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are thin materials (i.e., one-atom thick) with advantageous electronic properties. These materials have proved to be promising for the development of thinner, ...

Scientists create perovskite film semiconductors at room temperature using lasers, which is a revolution for chips and solar ...

As the world works to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, global adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is driving an increased demand for high-power, energy-efficient compound semiconductors, such as ...

As demand for this formerly niche type of semiconductor laser rises, companies making the vacuum systems and thin-film process equipment used in their manufacture need to adapt, says Ajit Paranjpe ...
