Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Laboratories have announced the development of a GaN High-Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) power amplifier for use in W-band (75-110GHz) transmissions. This can be used in a high-capacity wireless network with coverage over a radius of several kilometers.

AIXTRON has announced that Plessey Semiconductors Ltd. has ordered its AIX G5+ C cluster system for the production capacity expansion of gallium nitride LEDs manufactured on silicon wafers (GaN-on-Si). The tool is scheduled for delivery in the third quarter 2016.

Plessey, Anvil Semiconductors and the University of Cambridge announced that they are working together to fabricate high efficiency LEDs in cubic GaN grown on Anvil's 3C-SiC / Si substrates. Cubic GaN has the potential to overcome the problems caused in conventional LEDs by the strong internal electric fields which impair carrier recombination and contribute to efficiency droop.

Research by Nottingham Trent University, in collaboration with Copenhagen/San Francisco-based Siren Care, has led to the development of electronic smart socks which inform users of the early signs of diabetic foot ulcers.The new development could help doctors to remotely monitor diabetics for a potentially life threatening condition thanks to the measurement of foot temperature.

Power Integrations, in association with Cypress Semiconductor, announced a joint reference design describing a 20-watt, USB-PD compliant AC-DC power converter targeted at chargers for smart mobile devices. The design, titled DER-533, pairs the EZ-PD CCG2 USB Type-C port controller from Cypress with Power Integrations’ InnoSwitch -CP off-line CV/CC flyback switcher IC, enabling designers to produce a standards-compliant power adapter that is...

Researchers from the University of Southampton have designed innovative membrane wings which have been inspired by the flight of bats. This could potentialy open the door for next-gen Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) that offer improved aerodynamic properties, can fly over longer distances and are more economical to run.

Fujitsu has transformed its European semiconductor business into a distribution business. Fujitsu Electronics Europe (FEEU) has been trading as a global distributor since the beginning of 2016. Previously doing business as Fujitsu Semiconductor Europe (FSEU), the company now operates from offices in Langen (near Frankfurt), Munich, Milan, Budapest and Istanbul after changing its name and realigning its strategy.

MACH 2016 from 11th to 15th April 2016 will give UK companies the ideal opportunity to see a line-up of 14 DMG MORI machines under power including advanced additive manufacturing with the LASERTEC 65 3D and 5 new APPs for CELOS, aimed at intelligent Industry 4.0 production, as well as the impressive Porsche 919 Hybrid racing-car on its stand 5610 at the entrance to Hall 5 of the NEC.

EpiGaN and SunEdison Semiconductor have signed a global representation agreement for EpiGaN's GaN-on-Si epi wafers.The terms of the global representation and distribution agreement between EpiGaN and SunEdison Semiconductor, effective January 1, 2016, grant SunEdison Semiconductor exclusive rights for the marketing and sales of EpiGaN’s 150mm and 200mm GaN-on-Si Epiwafers for power switching applications, substantially strengthening EpiGaN'...

Elmo Motion Control’s recently launched Gold Oboe direct-on-line networking servo drive is now available from Heason Technology, Elmo’s UK distribution and systems integration partner. With continuous power capability to 5.7 kW, the Gold Oboe is reckoned to be the smallest servo drive in its class. Running on 13A/230 VAC single phase or 10A/480 VAC three phase, the diminutive drive delivers high precision servo motor control in an ext...
