EU Energy Ministers have collectively agreed to begin banning lower-efficiency light bulbs (incandescents) from the start of 2010. Compact fluorescents and LEDs will replace the energy wasting bulbs. The step was first ordered at a Brussels summit in 2007 as part of an energy policy to fight climate change. However, the energy ministers did not agree to the further proposed step of committing to ...

The term thick-SOI refers to a semiconductor substrate with an active, single-crystal silicon layer whose thickness exceeds 1µm. It lies on a buried oxide which is set on top of a silicon wafer carrier. This structure is widely used in MEMS and in Power Device electronics. In 2007, thick-SOI substrates accounted for a $72M market, representing approximately 380,000 6” (equiv.) wafer units.MEMS ...
InPACT is the primary producer of Indium Phosphide (InP) 2”, 3” and 4” substrates outside of Japan. The company sells the 2” diameter mainly for opto telecom and datacom chips; the 3” and 4” products are used for high speed ICs and PICs.
InPACT keeps its technical edge on surface contamination and local flatness performance and grows the longest InP boules (see below a 4” boule standard ...
