Ovonics (OVshinsky electrONICS) The science of glass compounds invented by Stanford Ovshinsky, founder of Energy Conversion Devices (ECD) in 1960. Ovonics deals with thin films of amorphous materials that can change their state when light or electricity is applied. Ovonics has brought about nickel metal hydride batteries, rewritable CDs and DVDs, as well as innovative fuel cell and hydrogen technologies. It is also used in phase change memory (PCM), a non-volatile memory that has the potential to replace all types of memory in the future. See chalcogenide glass, phase change disc and phase change memory.Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | Michigan also is becoming the Silicon Valley of solar energy manufacturing, combining the expertise of our universities, a $1 billion expansion at Saginaw's Hemlock Semiconductor, and the expertise of United Solar Ovonic. Ongoing research project initiated by Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) of USA and United Solar Ovonic is going to make the solar powered space travel a reality. Using thin film fabrication, Ovshinsky says the device can be fabricated in a cost-effective manner, using the Ovonic roll-to-roll process, a continuous web, triple-injection, roll-to-roll photovoltaic processor already makes 9 miles of thin-film, semi conducting photovoltaics in a single run. |
