Semiconductor Laser Grown Directly on Silicon Substrate
CARDIFF, Wales, March 9, 2016 — A practical laser grown directly on a silicon substrate could transform communications, healthcare and energy systems. Silicon, the most widely used material for the fabrication of electronic devices, is used in the manufacture of semiconductors which are embedded into nearly every device in use today, from smartphones and computers to satellite communications and GPS. While electronic devices have gotten faster, more efficient and more complex, those advances have put a strain on
