BluGlass has processed new RPCVD tunnel junction laser diode test structures which replaces the heavily lossy and resistive p-AlGaN cladding layers needed in standard laser diodes, paving the way for laser diodes improvement with reduced optical loss. The BluGlass US based Test Facility is on track for completion and full operation in June 2020.
BluGlass also reported its R&D progress on Micro LEDs, in particular its long-wavelength LEDs for red-green-blue (RGB) applications. BluGlass has recently demonstrated progress towards developing RPCVD grown red LEDs.
The company noted that its Micro LED foundry customer orders for the quarter have been impacted by COVID-19 with several of them currently on hold and unable to process and test devices. Despite the facility disruption, communication and preparation for next design iterations and orders continue.
