For example, it has released a SiC Schottky diode available in the company's patented low profile Powermite package. Inc. Nova Crystals was founded by researchers at Cornell University in September 1998 to develop and manufacture high efficiency LEDs for display and illumination applications, in addition to fibre optic comms components. Kansai Electric Power Company Osaka, Japan, based Kansai Electric Power is working on wide bandgap semiconductors. Sterling currently has a strong backlog of US Government contracts, including a prestigious three year Title III contract to establish a 3-inch SiC wafer production line. Sterling has a worldwide sales network within North America, Asia and Europe.
Sterling has a number of alliances and sales arrangements.
Sterling Semiconductor is also Wafer Technology's partner for SiC wafers. Sterling Semiconductor, Inc., a leading producer of silicon carbide semiconductor substrates, announced today that it has shipped initial production orders of its silicon carbide epitaxy product. Epitaxy is the thin film coating applied to semiconductor substrates that is used for the active layers in semiconductor devices. The GaN single-crystal substrate will not only accelerate movement towards common use of blue lasers, but will also promote new developments in electronic devices which employ gallium nitride semiconductors.
