Three leading players in semiconductor research and development – the Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung (IKZ), the PVA TePla AG, and the Siltronic AG – are combining their expertise in a pioneering project to scale up aluminum nitride (AlN) crystal growth.

The project's focus on scaling AlN crystal diameters from 2 to 4 inches addresses a fundamental requirement for
