The company's new approach to LEDs revolves around
using gallium nitride (GaN) for the substrate part of the light.
The company, formed earlier this year, plans to manufacture next - generation semiconductors
using gallium nitride.
The blue LEDs found inside most of today's LCDs — and whose inventors were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics this year —
use gallium nitride because it is energy efficient and bright.
Parish's team along with engineers from CSIRO have
used the gallium nitride to build a single sensor chip that can detect many different ions without the need for a reference electrode that would add to its size and weight.

NexGen plans to make semiconductor power devices from
gallium nitride, the same material that Soraa
uses to make LED lighting.
5, 5599 (2014)-RSB- and monitored the electron oscillation with 1.2 - PHz frequency
using gallium -
nitride (GaN) semiconductor [H. Mashiko et al., Nature Phys.
Using this process, the researchers grew stacks of flexible electronics up to three layers high, mixed and matched from silicon, the semiconductors
gallium arsenide and
gallium nitride, as well as carbon nanotubes, they reported in Science.
Gallium nitride nanowires, however, don't experience the same sort of crystal strain, so scientists hope to
use them as tunable, broad - spectrum light sources.
But it's possible to
use indium arsenide,
gallium arsenide,
gallium nitride or other so - called III - V materials from group III and group V. Being from different groups on the periodic table means transistor materials would have different properties, and the big one here is better electron mobility.
Resume: The thermal conductivity of a silica -
gallium nitride nanocomposite is investigated by means of Scanning Thermal Microscopy and predicted
using Molecular Dynamics Simulations.
The next step may be to
use the silicon to help capture light and funnel charge carriers to the
gallium nitride towers.
The device is made from the same widely
used materials as solar cells and other electronics, including silicon and
gallium nitride (often found in LEDs).
It also
uses an inorganic material —
gallium nitride — instead of OLED's organic material.
