With excellent cost advantages, GaN-on-Si technology has become a new focus in the LED market in order to cope with the severe price pressure for LED makers. In recent years, this technology has made significant progress and will soon move into commercial production to grab the market of long-term dominating sapphire substrate technology.German-based AZZURRO Semiconductors, which has patented large-diameter GaN-on-Si technology, already sets up a 150mm manufacturing site in Dresden starting 24x7 operations. With advances in its 200mm technology, the company will begin ramping up of 200mm wafers by 2H13 or 1H14. Erwin Wolf, CEO of AZZURRO, believes that within two to three years, LED market will rapidly and significantly have been shift to GaN-on-Si technology.Though GaN-on-Si has significant advantages, the technical challenges have made it difficult so far to be widely adopted in LED market. "AZZURRO's patented strain engineering technology can control the thickness uniformity of GaN film and the wafer bow, as well as achieve high crystal quality, which are all important to the performance of manufacturing LED devices", Erwin Wolf said.He emphasized that, take the 150mm wafers that are already in mass production as an example, the thickness of GaN layer is over 6µm and wafer bow is below 20µm. Therefore, it can utilize existing standard CMOS production line for the chip manufacturing process. Silicon is easier to be removed than sapphire, so that it can not only shorten production cycle, but also achieve better yield.Regarding AZZURRO's 200mm wafer technology, "We can achieve the same performance in terms of bow, thickness, and crystal quality as those in 150mm. In addition, 200mm wafer can have extremely high emission wavelength homogeneity, which will be able to reduce the binning efforts when manufacturing", Erwin Wolf indicated. At present, AZZURRO can offer 200mm wafer samples to customers.AZZURRO's factory in Dresden has already been in full operations since this year, with area of 1500mm2 and two 150mm MOCVD production lines. One is dedicated for LED wafers and the other for power semiconductor wafers. AZZURRO plans to mass produce 200mm wafers by 2H13 or 1H14."Our business model is to provide GaN-on-Si wafers for customers to fabricate their own LED or power semiconductor devices. We will not manufacture end devices", Erwin Wolf said, "Though there are other companies offering GaN-on-Si wafers for power semiconductor, but AZZURRO is the only company that offers also GaN-on-Si wafers for LED."As GaN-on-Si is gaining momentum in LED market, those who invest in this technology are IDM makers, which will use GaN-on-Si technology for in-house only. Currently, no company provides GaN-on-Si LED wafer technology. "Therefore, for those LED makers who don't have in-house GaN-on-Si wafer, AZZURRO's technology will be the best solution for them to address the emerging trend in LED industry", Erwin Wolf stressed.For LED applications, AZZURRO provides two products: LED wafer and LED template. Erwin Wolf explained that LED wafers can be used straight away to produce LEDs, while LED templates are silicon substrates with grown GaN layer by AZZURRO. Customers can facilitate their in-house designed LED MQW structures. Because of business and intellectual property considerations, most customers prefer LED template model. And AZZURRO will provide complete development kits for them to shorten development cycle of LED template.For example, AZZURRO just announced in October that Taiwan-based Epistar has successfully migrated its LED structures to AZZURRO's 150mm GaN-on-Si LED templates. Regarding this joint project, Erwin Wolf said, "Of course, there are lots of challenges to overcome, and there are many process parameters that we haven't thought of before. This learning process can help us avoid mistakes next time and help customers smoothly transfer to GaN-on-Si substrate with our application notes and engineering supports."AZZURRO aims to enable the migration of LED market to GaN-on-Si technology. As 200mm wafer technology gets ready, Erwin Wolf said, "When the industry can achieve mass production of 200mm wafer with CMOS process, the cost effectiveness of GaN-on-Si will stands out, and then the whole industry will move to this emerging technology quickly."However, before this goal is achieved, AZZURRO's important job right now is to enable the mass production of 200mm wafer. "We are now talking with several foundries, hoping to jointly develop 200mm wafer mass production technology. There are lots of idle 200mm capacities that can be utilized. Since these equipments are already fully depreciated, with these equipments and existing infrastructure, we can speed up the mass production of 200mm wafer," Erwin Wolf stressed.Meanwhile, in respond to future expansion plan, AZZURRO will have capital expansion plan next year, right now the company is aggressively talking with different parties about the investment plan.Erwin Wolf, CEO of AZZURRO Semiconductors AG

Bank burglaries are common storylines for Hollywood movies. The Dark Knight takes away the breath of all Bat Man fans, while Firewall may win over security specialists and professionals. For System Integrators with clients from banking segments, or better yet, anyone who works in a bank, do bank burglaries exist in movies only? Think again.Throughout modern history, burglars would take advantage of every flaw in what should be a seamless security agenda. In the winter of 1976 in Lebanon, roughly US$34 million dollars (equivalent to about $135 million in today's currency) was stolen from the British Bank of the Middle East. Even more recently, the Central Bank of Iraq in Baghdad lost nearly $1 billion in March 2003 merely hours after the bombardment of the city, considered the largest bank heist in history according to CNN. As recent as May 2010 about $5.5 million is taken from the Al-Rafidain Bank in al-Mishkhab, Iraq. For the protection of people and assets, financial institutions are spending more on building a resilient, holistic and effective physical-electronic security system with the help of advanced modern technology.EverFocus as the chosen solution providerHeadquartered in Mumbai, India, the award-winning ICICI Bank is the second-largest bank in the country. Established in 1955, today's ICICI Bank boasts a network of 2,883 branches and 10,021 ATMs in India, in addition to presence in 19 countries. The institution offers a wide range of banking products and financial services to corporate and retail customers through a variety of delivery channels and through its specialized subsidiaries in the areas of investment banking, life and non-life insurance, venture capital and asset management.ICICI Bank was already equipped with a standard security set up for CCTV cameras with 4-Channel Digital Channel Recorders. With the advanced increasing security threat, ICICI felt the need for upgrading their systems with additional DVR's embedded with latest technologies.Honeywell, EverFocus India's highly valued system integrator partner, proposed a solution to install ECOR264-9X1GR Model -9-Channel DVR at their various branches of ICICI across West India. They have 250 branches across West India. Installation was done by our System Integrator Honeywell India.ECOR2649X1GR incorporates multiple features like H.264 compression format for efficient disk storage and network bandwidth conservation, GUI application which provides easy operation and functionality.

As a pioneer in the BIOS industry, Phoenix Technologies has for many decades actively collaborated with hardware makers and silicon and OS vendors to develop optimal mobile computing devices and cloud computing-based server platforms.Product performance is always a crucial factor in the marketability of IT products. In this sense, BIOS is an essential component for any IT product, since it is the vital engine behind improved hardware and software performance. Phoenix SecureCore Technology (Phoenix SCT) 3.0 is an industry-leading UEFI BIOS which turbo-charges IT products with many new features.Phoenix SCT 3.0 is based on UEFI 2.3.1, which includes support for the latest industry standards and specifications, including EDK1117 Patch V7/8, UDK2010 (EDK II), PI 1.2, TCG 1.2, TPM 2.0, SMBIOS 2.7 and ACPI 5.0. The product supports multiple operating systems and is fully compliant with Microsoft Windows 8 certification.UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) BIOS is characterized by its capability to integrate different environments and systems; and Wintel players have fully leveraged this advantage to offer new products each year. In contrast, ARM-based system development utilizes the Board Support Package (BSP), which lacks reusability; and therefore entails more development cycles to meet different product specifications.With the UEFI architecture, any function can be developed with standardized packages and accessed via Phoenix SCT BIOS, such that firmware, drivers or even BIOS application can be launched immediately after powering on the device, i.e., pre-OS boot. This improves the usability of BIOS, said company Vice President of Development Engineering Terry Chen.Excellent development environment with fully modularized designPhoenix SCT 3.0 is a UEFI BIOS product based on the latest specification standards of EDK II and the modular architecture of previous products, while still having backward compatibility with EDK 1117. Silicon suppliers and OEMs/ODMs have to gradually upgrade functional modules to EDK II standards, with completion of the upgrade expected to take several years.The biggest advantage of Phoenix SCT 3.0 is that it allows OEMs/ODMs to freely use modular functional blocks based on EDK1117 or EDK II to seamlessly connect their firmware base to a new-generation of CPUs and thereby accelerate time-to-market."Our UEFI BIOS image can be highly customized to a minimum capacity of hundreds of kilobytes and a maximum capacity of several megabytes," said company Director of Product Marketing Juliet Chen. "Modular architecture enables the client to select a combination of functions based on need. For example, a combination selected for tablets should not occupy too much capacity but should support functions such as fast boot and power management. Without UEFI modular and layered architecture, it would still be necessary to develop a customized firmaware for each new product, which would entail allotting a big R&D effort and slow the time to market." Chen pointed out.Following the launch of Windows 8, Microsoft has begun pushing touch enabled Human Interface Device (HID) architecture standards. For products incorporating Phoenix SCT 3.0 BIOS, only hardware drivers need to be modified to comply with new standards, Chen indicated. This also makes it convenient for hardware makers to provide driver updates.Windows 8 includes automated BIOS upgrades with Windows UEFI Firmware Update (WUFU), which should simplify the firmware update process, as well as avoid RMA burden spent on system malfunction resulted from false updates, Chen indicated. In addition to the Windows 8 update process, Phoenix Technologies provides other secure methods of upgrading the BIOS.Sure Boot and Safe Recovery make hardware more stablePhoenix SCT 3.0 provides automated and stable boot procedures. Since installing incorrect BIOS can disable a system, Phoenix SCT 3.0 has a "Sure Boot" mechanism for failover BIOS recovery.If a boot failure occurs several times in succession, Sure Boot will automatically recover the original prescribed version of BIOS. This allows access to the hardware and avoids risks arising from incorrect upgrades. Sure Boot maintains the hardware in normal operation without being subject to a variety of potential hazards, Juliet Chen pointed out. For this purpose, BIOS redundancy becomes important.Unlike a dual-BIOS model, Phoenix Technologies' Safe Recovery BIOS2 mechanism does not need two flash ROM chips and lets the running and redundant BIOS exist concurrently without mutual interference through a safe separation mechanism. Placing both blocks on a single ROM chip can save on hardware design costs, while reducing power consumption, Chen explained. When the user updates BIOS, they will not affect the backup BIOS until the functioning of the updated version is checked and accepted. Once normal operation is confirmed, the redundant BIOS will be updated to avoid risks, Chen said.Human operating environment based on a graphic interface and touch supportAlong with the growing application of touch-based interfaces, BIOS configuration has been a concern, especially for tablets. "Since tablets are without many peripherals such as mice and keyboards, and instead are based on touch-control operation, functions such as reset or reboot need to rely on a combination of keys. To address this issue, Phoenix Technologies' BIOS is equipped with touch-control functions to be consistent with the new user experience paradigm," Terry Chen noted.With text-based control of BIOS likely to come across as unfriendly and inconvenient for users, Phoenix SCT 3.0 features a Graphical User Interface (GUI) BIOS Setup, which allows users to easily adjust the BIOS configuration without a keyboard or mouse."Phoenix SCT 3.0 features the layout tributes to Windows 8 user interface with the extention to BIOS Application," Juliet Chen said. "Phoenix Technologies' BIOS product offers a unified interface for developing UEFI Shell-architecture App plug-ins and the company is the first to achieve the seamless boot experience of a BIOS Setup GUI with a Windows 8 touch enabled environment," Juliet Chen stated.In addition to the new graphical interface, Phoenix SCT 3.0 adds Touch Hotzone Support, a touch-control function to replace hot keys such as F1 at the four corners and the center of the screen. This is an enhancement of quick access to boot option on a keyboardless tablets. BIOS touch-support with GUI menus allows OEMs/ODMs to increase their value-added proposition and provide pre-OS services, Juliet Chen said. When tablets are mostly used for routine tasks, like playing music, viewing photos and calculations, running at a full scale system services may be a waste of resource, Chen added.The superiority of Phoenix SCT 3.0 is reflected by its excellent performance on new-generation chipsets and operating systems. Moreover, it features increased safety, modularity and reusability of the native codebase. It also allows for greater precision and efficiency in product development. Its competitive advantage is also realized by efficient code packing to provide optimal space for computing and decreased energy consumption. Phoenix SCT 3.0 is clearly the next generation BIOS.US-based Phoenix Technologies offers Phoenix SecureCore Technology 3.0, a new UEFI BIOS product featuring safety, optimal touch control and seamless transition to EDK IITerry Chen, Vice President of Development Engineering for Phoenix TechnologiesJuliet Chen, Director of Product Marketing for Phoenix Technologies
