Vertical AlGaN Heterostructures For Integrated Photonics


A new technical paper titled "AlGaN/AlN heterostructures: an emerging platform for integrated photonics" was published by researchers at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (FBH). Abstract "We introduce a novel material for integrated photonics and investigate aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) on aluminum nitride (AlN) templates as a platform for developing reconfig... » read more

Manufacturing Bits: Sept. 3


Modeling SiC defects The Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFJ PAN) has developed a model that reveals the nature of crystal defects in silicon carbide (SiC). Defectivity is an issue for SiC, a compound semiconductor material based on silicon and carbon. Today, SiC is used to make specialized power semiconductors for high-voltage applications, such as electric ... » read more
