With financial support from County Durham Development Company (CDDC), this Durham University spinout has found NETPark a first class location in which to commercialise a new vapour-phase crystal growth technology for the manufacture of semiconducting crystals for next-generation scanning and imaging devices.
Semiconductor studies get a rise from yeast For years scientists have worked on making semiconducting crystals so tiny they begin to take on the properties of individual atoms or molecules -- but now a simple yeast has produced some of the best specimens yet.
DSC's unique process of growing semiconducting crystals from vapour rather than liquid has reduced problems of contamination and waste experienced by traditional methods of production and makes the whole process up to five times more productive.
