Electronics Research and Development
We conduct basic and applied research in the field of electronics. We develop electronic components and devices, devise novel semiconductor and insulating materials, and analyze client materials. Our engineers have developed novel ways to integrate dissimilar materials—especially active semiconductors—using wafer-bonding technology.
