Australian Cleantech innovator, BluGlass Limited, has announced today that it has been successful in demonstrating the best ever p-GaN light output using its propriety technology, Remote Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition (RPCVD) on an MOCVD partial LED structure. This result is greater than a 10 fold improvement in LED efficiency over the first p-GaN demonstration data published by the company in December 2012, when the same measuring methodology is applied. 

BluGlass has utilized its low temperature RPCVD process to develop p-type GaN, an essential material that make up the top layers of a nitride LED.   Preliminary testing has been carried out on the sample using a 0.5mm diameter size p-type indium contact. The light output was measured with a UV-detector positioned under the wafer calibrated at the wavelength of the light emission. At 20mA and 4.7V, the light output was 270µW (light emission at 458nm with a full width half maximum of 19nm) At 50mA and 5.5V, the light output was 1.23mW (light emission ...

The Sydney based clean-tech innovator BluGlass’s patent US2008272463, "Method and apparatus for growing a group (III) metal nitride film" has now been allowed in the U.S. This patent brings its international patent portfolio up to 16 granted patents in key semiconductor markets including the U.S., Europe, Japan, Korea and China. These patents help to provide the company with broad protection of its Remote Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition (RPCVD) technology and underpin the commercial opportunities for BluGlass in the production of high e...
