Nitride Semi Wins Patent Lawsuit against RayVio

California Northern District federal court says RayVio infringed UV LED patent
Nitride Semiconductor, a Japanese UV-LED firm, has won a patent infringement lawsuit against RayVio Corporation, a California UV-LED company.
On January 13, The California Northern District federal court issued a judgment in favour of Nitride, declaring that RayVio has infringed Nitride’s patent and that the asserted claims of Nitride’s patent are valid . A one month ago, US Patent Office has also confirmed the validity on the key claims of Nitride’s patent in its final judgments of the Inter Parte Review case filed by RayVio.
Nitride is a pioneer in the field of UV-LED. With Shiro Sakai at Tokushima University, Nitride succeeded in development of highly efficient UV-LED in 2000 for the first time in the world, and has continued to manufacture and sell UV-LED thereafter. Nitride says has made a huge investment in R&D to develop and modify UV-LED, which has been quite challenging.
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
