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.
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.
