Laytec Introduces First Tool to Measure the Exact Surface Temperature of GaN Layers

At the International Conference on Nitride Semiconductors (ICNS) in Korea on 18-23 October LayTec presented its latest product: Pyro 400. Unlike conventional infrared pyrometry, which can only detect the susceptor surface temperature under sapphire or SiC wafers, Pyro 400 is the first real solution for measuring the exact surface temperature of GaN layers.

Why Some Transistors Made from Organic Crystals Don't Perform Well

Electronic devices can't work well unless all of the transistors, or switches, within them allow electrical current to flow easily when they are turned on. A team of engineers has determined why some transistors made of organic crystals don't perform well, yielding ideas about how to make them work better.
