"In related news, Cree announced that it has begun providing initial samples of its new RazerThin(TM) LED products to select customers. These products are 60 percent thinner than Cree's standard products at approximately 100 um in height, and also offer a lower forward voltage. Preliminary specifications for this product include a typical Vf of 2.9V when operated at 5 mA. Applications for next generation keypad backlighting require sub- miniaturization and a thinner form factor for LEDs. The full release of this product is targeted for early July." Am I correct in assuming that because Cree LEDs have both contacts on the same horizontal end (vs. sapphire, which has to have a contact on each vetical end of the chip, that a razorthin product would be a distinct advantage to SiC technology? If I don't have this right, I am sure someone will clear my frazzled brain.
