LG Innotek collaborates with Linkoping University on silicon carbide project
LG Innotek,is collaborating with researchers at Linköping University, Sweden on a nine-year project to develop the manufacture of semiconductor silicon carbide (SiC) for optoelectronic components.
"The researchers at Linköping are world class, so it was natural to choose them as a partner. We are very enthusiastic about working with them,"said Joo-Won Lee, technical director of LG Innotek, at the project’s initiation in Linköping on November 12 2010. Investments in high-performance electronics material silicon carbide is a part of the company’s newly-determined future strategy. The project is financed in part by the Republic of Korea. Linkoping University role is to develop methods of growing high-quality silicon carbide through epitaxy process`s. LG will also fund a new, state of the art reactor for the purpose.
