BluGlass receives foundry order from new UK-based customer

BluGlass Ltd of Silverwater, Australia – which was spun off from the III-nitride department of Macquarie University in 2005 to develop a low-temperature process using remote plasma chemical vapor deposition (RPCVD) to grow materials including gallium nitride (GaN) and indium gallium nitride (InGaN) on glass substrates – has received what it describes as a significant order commitment from a new customer for about $600,000 of specialist epitaxy foundry development, to be delivered over the next 12 months.

The UK-based customer is developing gallium nitride (GaN) technology targeting LED and other applications. BluGlass recently fulfilled a small order for this customer, and has now secured this $600,000 order, which will be developing an innovative new project, says the firm.

"This single order from a new customer is the largest foundry order that the company has received to date," says BluGlass' managing director Giles Bourne. "The BluGlass foundry business continues to attract select customers and we are excited to be working with the innovators that will be leading the nitrides industry into the future," he adds.
