Welcome
Dear Friend, Welcome to the blog for III-Nitride Semiconductors, or III-N Semiconductors. III-N Semiconductors represent a new set of crystalline materials that have the potential to penetrate our lives in many ways. III-N Semiconductors are all around in the form of ultra-violet (UV), blue, green, and white light emitting diodes ( LEDs ) and also violet/blue laser diodes. The commercialization of violet/blue lasers has enabled much higher optical storage densities to be reached such as found in the recently released Sony Playstation 3. There are many other possible uses of III-N Semiconductors, including power electronics, wireless communications, optical fiber communications, water purification, and scientific instrumentation. Right now the total III-N Semiconductor device market is about Five Billion US Dollars ($5B). Over the next couple of decades, the market for III-N Semiconductor devices will grow to over $25B and will encompass many new applications. I encourage you to put yo...
