University of South Carolina chooses MOCVD tool from TNSC

The University of South Carolina is buying a Taiyo Nippon Sanso (TNSC) SR4000HT MOCVD reactor for advanced nitride research.
The university will use the tool for R&D of ultra wide band gap nitride materials as well as device technology.
"Taiyo Nippon Sanso is looking forward to working with Professor Asif Khan and the University of South Carolina research community to further enhance its already great reputation as leaders in the field of nitride semiconductor research,” said TNSC senior corporate officer Kunihiro Kobayashi.
Asif Khan, distinguished professor electrical engineering and director of the photonics and microelectronics laboratory said. “The selection of the TNSC SR4000HT MOCVD system and partnership with Taiyo Nippon Sanso enables the University of South Carolina to have state-of-the-art growth capabilities for high aluminum content AlGaN alloys and other nitrides. We are eager to leverage TNSC technology to push the boundaries of nitride semiconductor research.”
As research and applications for advanced nitride materials and devices expand, TNSC expects its HT (high temperature) MOCVD platforms to be the platforms of choice for researchers and manufacturers.
