HexaTech Launches Deep-UV Transparent 2-Inch Diameter Aluminum Nitride Substrates
Key Enabling Technology for 265 nm Optoelectronic Components
MORRISVILLE, N.C., April 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- HexaTech, Inc. announced today the launch of its deep-UV transparent 2-inch diameter, single crystal aluminum nitride (AlN) substrate product line. This capability is targeted to directly support commercial production of high-performance ultraviolet C (UV-C) wavelength light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and follows the announcement of HexaTech's 2-inch diameter, defect-free AlN substrate capability in May of last year. As the world's leading commercial supplier of single crystal AlN substrates, HexaTech developed this application-specific product to satisfy the technology needs of its strategic business partners and the actively growing UV-C LED market.
"This deep-UV transparency capability, especially when coupled with HexaTech's market-leading crystal quality, continues to demonstrate both the wide-ranging potential of the AlN platform, and the outstanding technical abilities of our development team," remarked HexaTech CEO, John Goehrke.
Gregory Mills, HexaTech VP of Business Development emphasized, "The 2-inch deep-UV substrate launch is a game-changer for UV-C LED applications. Our customers now have a no-compromise solution to produce deep-UV LEDs at 265 nm, which have been shown to exceed the operational performance of any sapphire-based part at this wavelength."
HexaTech's 2-inch diameter deep-UV transparent substrates are available now with standard lead times. For more information on this and HexaTech's AlN substrate technology, please visit www.hexatechinc.com, or contact HexaTech at [email protected].
