A spotlight on Innovation Semiconductor: a MicroLED Industry Association member
We're happy to introduce Innovation Semiconductor, a US-based company that develops a patented monolithic vertical architecture for the production of MicroLED microdisplays, based on a 3D nanowire structure, a single material system and a straightforward and conventional integration between LEDs and GaN transistor. We’re excited to feature Matthew Hartensveld, PhD, CTO and co-founder of Innovation Semiconductor, specializing in GaN micro-LEDs, transistors, and semiconductor device innovation, who shares his insights and vision in this exclusive Q&A:
Fabricated sub-pixel circuit with vertical LED-driver transistor, pass transistor, and charge storage capacitor.
Can you introduce your company and technology?
Innovation Semiconductor is a startup dedicated to advancing monolithic solutions for microLED displays. We recognize that one of the main barriers to large-scale microLED production has been the difficulty of integrating separate components into a unified, scalable solution. As such this has been our focus, where we are pioneering LED-FET technologies pairing GaN MOSFETs with LEDs to address the issue of controlling logic, smarter flip-chip bonding with NMOS circuitry offered by independent cathodes, and color tunable LEDs to have a single LED act as a complete pixel emitting native color. Notably, each of these technologies can operate independently and are designed to be fabricated using only standard semiconductor toolsets, ensuring compatibility with existing manufacturing infrastructure.
