ENLIGHT | Novel passivation technique for compound semiconductor devices

Summary
Kontrox is a disruptive technology(24 patents) to improve performance, power efficiency, reliability and manufacturing yields of crucial semiconductor devices like lasers, IR sensors, uLEDs or power electronics. Applied to chips in billions of devices and cars worldwide, Kontrox will have a tremendous impact on global sustainability by reducing their overall power consumption and by reducing the waste generated during their manufacturing.
Kontrox is a quantum engineering technique that eliminates oxidation-induced surface defects in semiconductor materials during the manufacturing. Chip surfaces are transformed into high quality nanostructures, eliminating up to 98% of defects and protecting from further oxidation. Integrated into conventional manufacturing techniques Kontrox delivers outstanding device efficiency improvements enabling the next generation and more-than-moore semiconductor devices. We have demonstrated +250% higher efficiency and 90x less power consumption in uLEDs.
