Translucent’s Michael Lebby, announced as guest speaker at CS International Conference, Frankfurt
CS International are pleased to announce Michael Lebby, General Manager & Chief Technology Officer-Translucent Inc has been confirmed as a guest speaker for the Compound Semiconductor industry's premier international event, CS International, which will held in Frankfurt, Germany on 4th & 5th March 2013. His presentation will be on The Challenges and Opportunities of Using Epitaxial Gan, Gesn, and Rare Earth Oxides on Large Format Silicon Wafers for Power Electronics, Solar, and Lighting.
In April 2010, Lebby joined Translucent based in California to head up the company’s R&D efforts to commercialize rare earth oxides for epitaxial based materials that have been developed over the past decade. Crystalline based semiconductor rare-earth oxides exhibit a number of attractive properties for advanced substrate and device solutions that include GaN-on-Si for solid state lighting and power electronics, Ge-on-Si for CPV solar, and GaAs based photonics and electronics.
He led the drive for green photonics while heading OIDA in the mid-2000s. The adoption and acceleration of this new discipline has become a significant focus for the photonics industry.
His career has spanned all aspects of the optoelectronics business ranging from research and development, operations, manufacturing, and finance, to sales, marketing, and investing.
With more than 180 USPTO utility patents issued in the field of optoelectronics, he has been cited by the USPTO to be in the most prolific 75 inventors in the country from 1988-1997.
He is a Fellow member of IEEE and OSA, and has testified on behalf of the optoelectronics industry while working for OIDA on Capitol Hill. Also has given numerous talks, speeches, panel discussions, and interviews, on the subject of optoelectronics internationally over the past two decades. Lebby has 2 doctorates and a MBA from the University of Bradford in the UK.
Michael will join the two day event with speakers coming from a wide range of organisations including leaders from Intel Corporation, Aixtron, Epistar Corporation, RF Micro Devices (RFMD), TriQuint Semiconductor and over 30 other leading chipmakers giving their perspective on the latest developments in device technology.
Professionals from around the world will attend this two day event to hear key insights and opportunities, from a range of leading analysts, and learn of the latest chip developments in LEDs, solar cells, lasers and power and RF electronics.
Delegates will have the opportunity to network with leading industry professionals of the III-V chip making industry and interact with suppliers.
