Gallium nitride is the material of choice for solid-state light emitters covering the UV, blue, and green parts of the spectrum. With the help of phosphors white light can also be produced. Gallium nitride devices are finding their way into mass-markets, but the technology is yet in its infancy and there is still scope for performance improvements. We collaborate with academic and industrial partners to advance the technology. Examples of some of our research interests and capabilities are:

GaN research interests:

• MicroLEDs - ultra-efficient, miniature light sources
• Defect visualization and defect reduction in wafer materials
• Ohmic contacts
• Schottky contacts
• Electroplated contacts and flip-chip packaging
• Micro-cavity LEDs
• Integration with silicon circuitry

GaN capabilities :

• Device design and modelling
• Materials characterization
• Device fabrication
• Optical and electrical testing
• Reliability testing and failure analysis
