LEDs ♦ news digest during the fourth calendar quarter of 2014.
Ushio Opto Semiconductors was established in July 2014 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Ushio Inc. Established in 1964, Ushio Inc manufactures light sources in a broad range from ultraviolet to visible to infrared wavelengths, as well as of optical equipment and cinema-related products that use these light sources. It also makes semiconductors, flat panel displays and electronic component.
Oclaro Inc makes optical components, modules and subsystems for the core optical, enterprise and data centre markets, based on more than three decades of laser technology innovation, photonics integration, and subsystem design.
Novati gets ‘trusted foundry’ stamp for US defence applications
One of only nine fabs to win DoD accreditation
wide bandgap electronics, non-volatile memory, power semiconductors, RF devices and a range of 2.5D/3D devices for aerospace and defence customers.
“Today’s security applications for DoD demand suppliers who can meet the most rigorous requirements for utilising non-traditional elements and support low-volume manufacturing,” said David Anderson, president and CEO for Novati. “We’ve proven that customers with really tough problems that require innovative materials, combinations of heterogeneous devices and high- risk processing techniques come to Novati. We regularly help develop products from concepts that have never been built before. The Trusted Foundry accreditation reflects our focus and strong commitment to supporting aerospace and defense contractors.”
The Trusted Foundry program, administred by the Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) organisation on behalf of the DoD, ensures that the US government has guaranteed access to specialised, high-performance components.
Perovskite semiconductor shows promise for low cost
LEDs Material can be easily tuned to emit light in a variety of colours, say researchers
Novati Technologies, a developer of photonics, MEMS, 2.5D/3D, III-V-on-silicon and nanotechnology products, has announced that its wafer fab in Austin, Texas has been accredited by the US Department of Defense (DoD) as a Category 1A Trusted Foundry.
The DoD accreditation distinguishes Novati as a trusted manufacturer of integrated circuits for US aerospace and defence applications. Category 1A has been granted to only nine CMOS fabs that exhibit the highest levels of process integrity and protection.
Novati builds MEMS, sensors, actuators, photonic and electro-optic devices, Infrared (IR) detectors,
A hybrid form of perovskite - the same type of material which has recently been found to make highly efficient solar cells - has been used to make low-cost, easily manufactured LEDs, potentially opening up a wide range of applications such as flexible colour displays.
This class of semiconducting perovskites have generated excitement in the solar cell field over
