We noticed that customer and neighbor Soitec Phoenix Labs had a great writeup in the AZ Republic. Their substrate technology was used to make a multijunction solar cell for use with conentrated solar, delivering an amazing 46% efficiency. The standard right now in the mid to low 20% for single junction, the most common technology available. The article actually does a pretty good job of explaining the technology, why Soitec has something special, and some insight into their LED technology as well.
A big congrats to the team and we can not wait to hear when you break 50%!
They have a great video on their CPV efforts on their website.
Soitec is a french company that purchased GaNotec a few years back. Their Phoenix Labs is across the lake in the ASU Research Park in the ASU MacroTechnology Works building and PADT has provided a variety of services to the company since it started as GaNotec. We have worked with many of their employees at other Semiconductor Equipment companies before GaNotec was founded.
Congrats to everyone!
