Sunday, 02 June 2024 22:30 |

12th International Workshop on Nitride Semiconductors (IWN 2024) will be held this year in O'ahu, Hawai'i, on November 3-8, 2024. It is organized by Profs.Zlatko Sitar and Ramón Collazo.

The IWN 2024 will bring together researchers from around the world to discuss the latest advances in the field of III-Nitride semiconductors. IWN 2024 will celebrate the achievements of Profs. Asif Khan and Russel Dupuis as honorary chairs.

Prof. Czesław Skierbiszewski from our Institute was invited to give a plenary talk: „Tunnel Junctions for Novel Nitride Optoelectronic Devices”.

IHPP PAS "Unipress" among top ten most innovatory public institutions in Poland

Monday, 27 May 2024 10:52 |

We proudly announce that according to the analysis published recenlty in Gazeta Wyborcza, the Institute of High Pressure Physics "Unipress", Polish Academy of Sciences ranks 10th among Polish public research organizations that obtained most patents through European Patent Office (EPO).

Unipress, with 23 European patents granted in last 10 years, is preceeded only by several largest Polish universities and ranks the best among institutes of Polish Academy of Science, with the runner-up Institute of Biophysics and Biochemistry holding 16 patents. The leader, Jagiellonian University in Cracow, obtained 82 European patents. When private entities are included (e.g. large commercial companies), Unipress drops to 17th place, which is still excellent, considering scales of operation.

"GaN-Unipress" with the support of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan

Monday, 20 May 2024 13:22 |

We are pleased to inform you that the Center for Nitride Semiconductor Physics and Technology "GaN-Unipress" has received support under Investment A2.4.1 Investments in Expanding the Research Potential of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. The Center, founded by Prof. Dr. Hab. Izabella Grzegory, Corresponding Member of the Polish Academy of Sciences and listed among the strategic research infrastructures on the Polish Research Infrastructure Map (decision number DIR/PMIB/2020/99), received support amounting to PLN 75,759,580.00 with a total eligible project cost of PLN 89,144,580.00.

More about the Center for Nitride Semiconductor Physics and Technology "GaN-Unipress" in this file.

The infrastructure for the production of quantum structures for high-power and high-frequency electronic devices based on nitride semiconductors and gallium nitride (GaN) substrates with a diameter of 4 inches will be built within the project. The Institute of High Pressure Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences is currently the only European manufacturer of GaN substrates.

SSIE - PhD Summer School

Wednesday, 29 May 2024 14:39 |

Continuing a decades-long tradition, the 33rd edition of the Summer PhD School of Information Engineering (SSIE 2024) will take place in the beautiful Bressanone/Brixen, Italy, a charming town in the middle of the Italian Alps famous for its wonderful landscapes on July 8th -12th, 2024.

Deadline for the registration for the SSIE Summer PhD School of Information Engineering is on May 30th, 2024. Don't miss a chance to learn about the most relevant advancements including GaN epitaxy, processing, vertical devices, devices physics and applications. Prof. Michal Bockowski from Institute of High Pressure Physics PAS, will give a lecture on "Insights on GaN bulk growth and ultra high pressure annealing".

European patent of unitary effect granted to Unipress

Monday, 27 May 2024 10:43 |

Unipress has become the first among all public research organisations in the world that requested the unitary effect of the European patent from EPO (European Patent Office). The patent was granted to Institute of High Pressure Physics for "Device and method for measuring thickness of a dielectric layer on a metal surface". Inventors: prof. Valeri Mikhnev, prof. Wojciech Knap and prof. Tomasz Skotnicki.

Prof. Valeri Mikhnev and prof. Wojciech Knap present the patent certificate.

This new formula of unitary effect of european patent was introduced by EPO in 2023 and it allows applicants to opt for the protection automatically extending to all countries that have already ratified the agreement, at present covering 17 countries. Not only it streamlines the patenting procedure, but also reduces application costs and subsequent renewal fees (if the patent was intented for enforcement in more than four countries). Unitary effect does not interfere with applying for protection elsewhere under the preexisting rules. More about the unitary patent system on the webpage of Polish Patent Office.

CSW 2024 and GaN Marathon

Monday, 20 May 2024 12:56 |

Compound Semiconducot Week (CSW) will be held in Lund, Sweden, from June 3-6 this year. CSW is one of the leading conferences in semiconductor science, technology and applications. Our Institute will be represented by prof. Michal Boćkowski, who will deliver an invited paper titled "Breaking Barriers with GaN: Crystal Growth and Ultra-High-Pressure Annealing Strategies."

A week later, on June 10-12, the GaN Marathon 2024 meeting will be held in Verona, Italy, where the latest developments in nitride semiconductor technology will be discussed. Here, too, our Institute will be represented by prof. Michal Boćkowski, who will deliver an invited paper titled "GaN-on-GaN Technology from the Perspective of Materials Science."
