Developing Opportunities
Bulk GaN growth technology to enable homoepitaxial GaN, and alloys,
growth for blue-UV lasers and high-power, high-temperature, and
high-frequency devices
Low defect density GaN wafers are expected
to supplant SiC and sapphire for many applications, as well
as improve blue laser manufacturing
Hybrid SiC wafer technology that will significantly lower the
cost of SiC wafers for device fabrication by more than a factor
of five
SiC hybrid wafers will provide lower cost wafers
and enable new device incorporation
RF transistor technology, based on GaN and SiC materials, that
will advance the state of the art (and decrease component cost)
of high-frequency power devices
Wide bandgap transistors will supplant Si and
III-V epi-based high power RF devices
Solar Energy technology is approaching
a maturing stage, where along with strong State and Government
incentives, can provide a widespread solution to the impending
energy problems that fact our nation and the world
Developing high-efficiency, yet cost-effective
and practical solar energy technology exploring new, more manageable
materials such as thin-flims
Current Projects
We here at Astralux consistently strive to
stay on the cutting edge of technology development. We have been
awarded numerous government contracts through the DoE, DoD, NASA,
and others in many exciting technological areas. Here is a list
of past and present fields of interest in our R&D ventures:
- III - V Semiconductors (Namely AlGaN)
- Semiconductor Ultraviolet Optical Sources (SUVOS)
- UV / X-Ray Biodecontamination
- Si / SiC Hybrid Wafer
- Direct Thermal to Electric Conversion (DTEC) Systems
- CHP and Waste Heat Converters
- Thermal Management
- Solar Photovoltaics (Solar Energy, Solar
Power)
- Solar Panels
- Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV)
- and many more...
