The plot thickens... From the Sterling site: sterling-semiconductor.com They found a group of scientists in St. Petersburg that had been successfully manufacturing the substance, and they began distributing their product. In 1996, Lewis and LeMunyon hired two of those scientist bringing them to Herndon to start Sterling Semiconductor. Sterling's "mother company" is a stone's throw from St. Petersburg, of course that's not the "motherland" St. Pete <g>. TXN would be interesting! JF

Re: Aluminum Nitride barrier layer for GaN Looking at patent 5,393,993 it reminded me of an Agilent white paper I read recently: ftp.agilent.com Agilent uses AlN as the piezoelectric in their FBAR resonators (at least so they say <g>). Since it also appears to be compatible with GaN I wonder if there is any call for vibrating light emitters? I wonder if the lattice constant shift in the AlN could result in a frequency shift in an "attached" GaN LED (laser)? JF
