The Czech Republic is also well represented. CEITEC, a scientific research institution with an advanced semiconductor laboratory at BUT Brno, is involved in the project. Another player is Thermo Fisher Scientific. Like Tescan and Delong Instruments, it produces electron microscopes required for semiconductor research and production in Brno. Thermo Fisher supplies it to Apple, TSMC or Intel. The annual sales of the Czech branch reach 100 million. The Brno trio control a large part of the world market.
Funding for ALLGaN is approximately 10 million euros (approximately 100 million Benin Mobile Number List kronor) and will be available until 2020. As part of this project, different applications of GaN semiconductors are being investigated. Among them, the goal is to increase energy efficiency by thirty percent and put gallium nitride into efficient production. There are more projects on GaN in Europe, on base stations for mobile networks.
The result of ALLGaN with as few defects as possible should be chips that European manufacturers such as Infineon (which already has a GaN production line) can produce routinely. New structures and devices were invented, but there were issues of manufacturability and affordability. In semiconductors, every dollar, every watt, and every square inch counts. Nor was it long before we started reliably producing silicon bases.
