Veeco to evaluate BluGlass's RPCVD p-GaN

Veeco Instruments has proposed to evaluate BluGlass’s RPCVD p-GaN for LED and power electronic applications, following BluGlass’s recent announcement of its improved performance data.

This evaluation involves Veeco supplying MOCVD grown, partial LED and HEMT structures for BluGlass to overgrow with low-temperature RPCVD p-GaN layers.

BluGlass announced in February that its RPCVD p-GaN was approaching the performance benchmark of full MOCVD LEDs grown in-house by BluGlass and provided its performance data to the industry. This data has led to this evaluation of p-GaN for both power electronic and LED applications to be undertaken by the two companies.

This evaluation will require significant development effort by BluGlass and could potentially involve multiple iterations. This agreement does not involve any transfer of intellectual property between BluGlass and Veeco, and does not entail any financial commitment by either party beyond their own costs of the evaluation.
