SAMCO is presenting a paper at the International Conference on Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology (CS MANTECH 2012) titled Chlorine-Based_ICP_Etching_for_Improving_the_Luminance_Efficiency_in_Nitride_LEDs“.

On December 20, 2012, SAMCO held its first “Taiwan Thin Film Technology Seminar” at National Chiao Tung University in collaboration with the university’s Department of Photonics.

The seminar, focused on “Next Generation Power Devices (SiC, GaN) and their Processing Technology”, was held in response to strong requests for a SAMCO Thin Film seminar to be held in Taiwan, following successful seminars in China. Importantly the event had an international feel, with professors at the forefront of their fields from Japan, Taiwan, and United Kingdom providing lectures. Due to the swell of interest in wide band-gap semiconductors, more than 150 researchers and technical experts participated in the seminar. The event ended successfully, with an abundant exchange of information between presenters and participants. Following the success of this and other Thin Film Seminars, SAMCO plans to actively pursue seminar opportunities in the future.

SAMCO is proud to announce our involvement in the 11th Asia-Pacific Conference on Plasma Science and Technology (11th APCPST), to be held at Kyoto University in October 2012. A total of seven research papers by several SAMCO R&D personnel and collaborating researchers will be presented during the conference. Four of these research papers were developed in collaboration with the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Kyushu Institute of Technology, University of Tokushima, Yamaguchi University, and the Dalian University of Technology. The research papers are listed below, in order of presentation.

Mr. Osamu Tsuji, President and CEO of SAMCO Inc., was recently named Conference and Organizing Committee Chairperson of the 11th Asia Pacific Conference on Plasma Science and Technology (APCPST 2012) Conference. 

Professor Hashiguchi at the Research Institute of Electronics Laboratory, Shizuoka University, is a proud customer of SAMCO Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE) System, RIE-800iPB and Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) System, RIE-10NR.
He talked about his research in the field of MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) technology.
