Green LED development plan
IMEC, Europe's nanoelectronics research research institute, and Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corp say they will jointly develop manufacturing technology for high-efficiency LED (light-emitting diode) devices.
The agreement marks the first time Taiyo Nippon Sanso has collaborated with a research centre in Europe.
There is an increasing demand to develop brighter green LEDs for future applications such as back light for high-vision LCD television.
Under the agreement, Taiyo and IMEC will develop high-efficiency green LED device manufacturing technology based on IMEC's compound semiconductor device technology.
Research is mainly carried out at the IMEC facilities in Leuven, Belgium, and builds on its expertise in strain engineering on large wafer diameters, supported by in-situ growth monitoring.
