Scientists Devise New Technique to Increase Chip Yield from Semiconductor Wafer

Scientists from the Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials (KIMM, President Sang Jin Park) under the Ministry of Science and ICT, and the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore, President Subra Suresh) have developed a technique to create a highly uniform and scalable semiconductor wafer, paving the way to higher cup yield, more cost-efficient semiconductors and mitigating the global chip shortage.

Ln-Doped Lead-Free Double Perovskite Based Ultra-Broadband LED

Lanthanide ions were successfully incorporated into Bi:Cs2AgInCl6 lead-free double perovskite (DP), yielding ultrabroadband continuous emission. To reduce energy transfer and cross-relaxation processes among activators, “DP-in-glass composite” (DiG) structure was designed, whose PLQY is almost three times that of a multi-doped DP. Finally, a compact ultrabroadband (400~2000 nm) light source was fabricated by coupling the DiG with commercial UV LED chip, which has promising applications in nondestructive spectroscopic analyses and multifunctional illumination.
