STMicroelectronics Sets Silicon Light-Emission Record

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
GENEVA, Oct. 28 -- Semiconductor manufacturer STMicroelectronics announced today its researchers have developed a new technology that allows silicon-based light emitters to match the efficiency of traditional light-emitting compound semiconductor materials such as gallium arsenide. The company said the technology sets a world record for efficiency and opens up many potential applications in which optical and electrical functions are combined on a single silicon chip. One of the first applications of the new technology is to build power control devices in which the control circuitry is...Read full article
