IMEC, Europe's leading independent research center in the field of nanoelectronics, and AIXTRON, the world leader in metal-organic chemical-vapor deposition (MOCVD) equipment, have demonstrated the growth of high-quality and uniform AlGaN/GaN heterostructures on 200mm silicon wafers. This demonstration is a milestone towards fabricating low-cost GaN power devices for high-efficiency/high-power systems beyond the silicon limits.
