AmberWave continues to foster ideas, nurture development and progress industry standards. Click here to view the latest news and information about AmberWave Systems. At AmberWave Systems, we are at the forefront of research and development of advanced technologies for semiconductor manufacturing. By fostering research and development at the university level, joint research through our partners program, and by collaborating with other R&D facilities, AmberWave Systems develops, patents and licenses technologies that will allow the semiconductor industry to continue the phenomenal success of silicon. AmberWave Systems is delving deep the physical properties of semiconductors in order to find new ways of combining the performance of compound semiconductors and the economics of silicon production along with innovative manufacturing processes to meet tomorrow's technology demands. AmberWave Systems' first research & development endeavour was strained silicon, which increases speed and at the same time, reduces power consumption within a silicon chip. Strained silicon "stretches" or strains the crystal lattice of silicon, and in turn, reduces resistance and increases mobility of the charge carriers. A recent AmberWave invention called Aspect Ratio Trapping (ART) is a technology that could open the door to even faster, more powerful chips that could find their way into a wide range of applications, from silicon photonics to improved photovoltaic cells...
