Erforschung der Oberflächenpräparation und der Rückgewinnung von Aluminiumnitrid-Substraten (ERASE)

Third party funded individual grant


Acronym: ERASE

Start date : 01.03.2019

End date : 28.02.2022


Project details

Short description

The major goal of the project is the development of novel processes for the surface preparation and reclaim of single crystalline Aluminumnitride (AlN) substrates for the purpose of UVC LEDs production.

Fundamental obstacles related to the substrate, which were identified as hindrance for the later full performance and reliability of a device will be addressed. The development of a reclaim procedure will contribute essentially to the cost reduction for the production of UVC devices and to tap the full potential of the future market of such devices. The project aims to contribute to strengthen the national and international competitiveness of companies based in Bavaria focusing on the development of optoelectronic devices for disinfection purposes.
