Startup opens GaN-on-Si wafer-production facility

...LONDON—EpiGaN NV, a startup spun out of the IMEC research institute in 2010, has officially opened a production facility for gallium-nitride-on-silicon wafers at the Research Campus in Hasselt, Belgium.Gallium nitride is expected to enable more efficient power electronics than is possible in silicon and to be used for power supplies, motor drivers, and inverters for solar energy technologies and greener transport. By growing an epitaxial layer of GaN on silicon substrates EpiGaN aims to combine the manufacturing scale of mainstream silicon with the extended performance of GaN.EpiGaN is offering Ga...

US levies low tariffs on China solar panels

...SAN JOSE, CA—In what's seen as a slap on the wrist, the US Department of Commerce proposed duties of 2.9 to 4.73 percent on crystalline photovoltaic panels coming from China. The preliminary ruling is expected to have little direct impact, but eases fears of a solar trade war.The case is one of at least seven investigations around the world for a growing but nascent solar industry that still thrives on government support. Before the decision, industry observers had expected tariffs of about 20 percent."I don't anticipate these [tariffs] if they stand will have a significant impact on the U.S. solar...
