Fraunhofer Institute Founds Epiwafer Supply Company
Employees of the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics in Freiburg and the venture group of the Fraunhofer Society in Munich have founded EpiNova GmbH, a commercial start-up company, to supply advanced III-V epitaxial layer structures. EpiNova is focused on molecular beam epitaxial growth of III-V heterostructures and offers epitaxial wafers for PHEMTs and MESFETs on substrates up to 6-inch diameter, as well as MBE foundry service for lasers, infrared detectors and customized optoelectronic devices.
"EpiNova allows its customers to ramp up production quickly after the development of new products and bridges the gap between R&D and high volume production," says Dr. Martin Walther, CEO of EpiNova. The spin-off has rented lab and office space at the Fraunhofer Institute of Applied Solid State Physics in Freiburg and makes use of the excellent analytical services of the institute.

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.
Take control with Nel on-site hydrogen generation.
