Strengthening Research
The SOI IndustryConsortium has announced that it is reinforcing its academic and researchsupport with the additions of three prestigious universities at the forefrontof SOI applied research. Stanford University, University of California,Berkeley and Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, Japan have all joined theconsortium as academic members.
“We are very pleasedto welcome Stanford, U.C. Berkeley and Ritsumeikan University. With theseadditions, we are expanding our excellent ecosystem of prestigious academic andresearch support,” says Horacio Mendez, Executive Director of the SOI IndustryConsortium. “Our members in academia are key contributors in both basic andapplied SOI research. Together, we can facilitate cooperation with industry andother research organizations, helping to accelerate the use of SOI in bothemerging and established application fields. Conversely, academia is ourgateway to the future, providing our industry with researchers and engineerswho have a strong grounding in the use and advantages of SOI.”
The SOI IndustryConsortium will continue promoting cooperation between commercial members andacademia and research institutes. Representing leaders spanning the entireelectronics industry infrastructure, the SOI Industry Consortium's membershipnow counts seven academic members and research institutes worldwide. The othersinclude Tyndall Institute, “Université Catholique de Louvain” (UCL), as well asIMEC, and Leti. The group's expertise covers key areas such as ultra-low powerapplications, MEMS, advanced CMOS, Fully Depleted (FD) SOI, FinFETS, photonics,analog, SOC and RF applications.
The SOI IndustryConsortium is open to any company, organization or academic institution with aninterest in SOI.

AngelTech Live III: Join us on 12 April 2021!
AngelTech Live III will be broadcast on 12 April 2021, 10am BST, rebroadcast on 14 April (10am CTT) and 16 April (10am PST) and will feature online versions of the market-leading physical events: CS International and PIC International PLUS a brand new Silicon Semiconductor International Track!
Thanks to the great diversity of the semiconductor industry, we are always chasing new markets and developing a range of exciting technologies.
2021 is no different. Over the last few months interest in deep-UV LEDs has rocketed, due to its capability to disinfect and sanitise areas and combat Covid-19. We shall consider a roadmap for this device, along with technologies for boosting its output.
We shall also look at microLEDs, a display with many wonderful attributes, identifying processes for handling the mass transfer of tiny emitters that hold the key to commercialisation of this technology.
We shall also discuss electrification of transportation, underpinned by wide bandgap power electronics and supported by blue lasers that are ideal for processing copper.
Additional areas we will cover include the development of GaN ICs, to improve the reach of power electronics; the great strides that have been made with gallium oxide; and a look at new materials, such as cubic GaN and AlScN.
Having attracted 1500 delegates over the last 2 online summits, the 3rd event promises to be even bigger and better – with 3 interactive sessions over 1 day and will once again prove to be a key event across the semiconductor and photonic integrated circuits calendar.
So make sure you sign up today and discover the latest cutting edge developments across the compound semiconductor and integrated photonics value chain.
