Solar, Infrared and LED Experts Discuss Advances in Photonics
Recent developments and future expectations were talked about at the 2010 International Symposium on Optoelectronic Materials and Devices.
On July 12 and 13, 2010, experts from across the solar and infrared (IR) photovoltaics and light emitting diode (LED) disciplines met to review and discuss recent progress and future trends . The rapidly advancing fields of photonic materials and devices were discussed at the 2010 International Symposium on Optoelectronic Materials and Devices.
The symposium was jointly organized by the Quantum-functional Semiconductor Research Center of Dongguk University, the Microphysics Laboratory of the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and Sivananthan Laboratories . It was held and successfully concluded at the Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile Hotel in Chicago.
Leading scientists from various government agencies, universities and industry presented recent advances on solar cells, IR devices and LEDs . The talks included thin film solar cells, very high efficiency tandem solar cells, heteroepitaxial growth and antimonide- and HgCdTe-based infrared sensors.
The symposium featured two plenary speaker; Martha Symko Davies of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Minh Le of the Solar Energy Technologies Program at the U.S. Department of Energy.
“The year’s symposium was 7th in the series and the second consecutive symposium held in Chicago,” said Yesim Anter, Project Coordinator of the Microphysics Laboratory. Anter added “The goal of this symposium was to bring together a small group of distinguished members of the optoelectronic materials society to interact with each other and listen to the exciting developments in their respective fields first hand. Furthermore, the symposium provided a great opportunity for many
students and faculty to do networking with these renowned speakers.”
Chris Grein, Professor of Physics and Director of Graduate Studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago, said that “The fields of solar and infrared photovoltaics and light emitting diodes have many common technical elements yet few conferences bring together experts from all three. One of the goals of the symposium was to facilitate the cross- pollination of many ideas that will benefit these technologies.”
Timothy Coutts, Advisor and Senior Scientist at EPIR Technologies, NREL Fellow Emeritus and founder of the Device Development Group at NREL, stated, “This year’s International Symposium on Optoelectronic Materials and Devices brought together a wonderful group of researchers from the solar, IR, and LED industries. The symposium attendants exchanged ideas that will potentially result in creative new approaches for advancing the state of these technologies.”
Tae Won Kang, director of Quantum-functional Semiconductor Research Center at Dongguk University in Seoul, S. Korea, stated that he was “pleased to see the continued collaboration between the two research centers, the Quantum- functional Semiconductor Research Center (QSRC) at Dongguk University and the Microphysics Laboratory (MPL) at the University of Illinois at Chicago, which helped organize the symposium series for more than 8 years.” Kang added that he plans to organize the symposium next year in Seoul, S. Korea.
Epilight Selects Veeco’s K465i Tool for LED Production
The Chinese firm based in Shanghai has selected Veeco’s gallium nitride (GaN) MOCVD Tool for its HB-LED manufacturing capacity ramp.
Veeco Instruments has announced that during the recently completed second quarter, Shanghai Epilight Technology Company, one of the largest LED manufacturers in China, placed a multi-tool order for Veeco TurboDisc K465i Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) systems. The equipment is for Epilight’s planned capacity
