Current and Future Status of Nitride-based Solid State Lighting

by Shuji Nakamura

Monday, October 111700hGrande E, 1st Floor

In his plenary talk ShujiNakamura will describe thecurrentstatusofIII-nitridebasedlightemittingdiodes(LEDs)andlaser diodes. Recently, nitride-basedwhiteLEDshavebeenusedfor many application such asLCD TV backlight, lighting forinside/outside applications and

others. The efficiency of those white LEDs are around 150lumen/W.Onthelaserdiodes,highefficientandhighpowerblue laser diodes have been developed. On the green laserdiodes,theoutputpowerisstillnotashighatthewavelengthofaround525nm.

Shuji nakamura obtained BE, MS, and PhD degrees inelectrical engineering from the University of Tokushima,Japanin1977,1979,and1994,respectively.HejoinedNichiaChemicalIndustriesLtd.in1979.In1988,hespentayearattheUniversityofFloridaasavisiting researchassociate.

In 1991, Dr. Nakamura obtained p-type GaN films bythermalannealing for thefirst timeandwasable toclarifyhydrogen passivation as a hole compensation mechanism.Formany researchers,working since thebeginningofGaNresearchin1960s,thishydrogenpassivationoftheacceptorshadhinderedtheabilitytoobtainp-typeGaNfilms.In1992,hewasalsoabletogrowthefirstInGaNsinglecrystallayers,whichshowedthefirstband-to-bandemissioninPLandELatroomtemperature.TheseInGaNlayershavebeenusedforanemittinglayerinallblue/green/whiteLEDsandallviolet/blue/green semiconductor lasers. Without his invention ofInGaN layers, there would have been no blue/green/whiteLEDsandnoviolet/blue/greensemiconductorlaserdiodes.

In 1993 and 1995, Dr. Nakamura developed the firstgroup-IIInitride-basedhigh-brightnessblue/greenLEDs.Healso developed the first group-III nitride-based violet laserdiodes(LDs)in1995.In1996,hisformercompany,Nichia,startedsellingwhiteLEDsusinghisinventionofblueLEDs.These white LEDs have been used for all kinds of lightingapplications in order to save energy consumption.

Dr. Nakamura moved to the U.S. from Japan in 2000where he became a professor in the Materials Departmentat the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB). In2007, he and his coworkers at UCSB succeeded in the firstlasingofnonpolar/semipolarGaN-basedsemiconductorlaserdiodes. In 2009, they achieved green semiconductor laser

Diagnostics of Membrane Electrode Assembliesby Thomas J. Schmidt

Wednesday, October 131400hGrande F, 1st Floor

The commercialization of hydro-gen fuel cells iskey forenablinga sustainable hydrogen-basedeconomy. Low and hightemperature polymer electrolytefuel cells (PEFCs) are promising,and far-developed, technologiesfor automotive, stationary, andsmall portable applications.

Although lotsofcomponentdevelopmentandsystemfieldtesting have been performed over the years, durability ofstack and stack components, such as membrane electrodeassemblies(MEAs),membranes,electrodes,gaskets,orbipolarplatesisstillamajorconcern.

Oneof thechallenges in thedevelopmentofmembraneelectrodeassembliesistheimpossibilitytoperformsignificantnumbersofdurabilitytestsinthelaboratoryonacomponentbasis for the required lifetimes, mainly due to time andtest station constraints. It is impossible to test for severalthousandsofhoursinordertofindoutifspecificcomponentadvancementscanlastas long.Thatis,rapidoracceleratedaging tests are necessary, which study specific degradationmodesinshorttimeperiods,andbeingabletocorrelatetheseresultswithfindingsfromrealistic lifetimetests.Forpropercorrelationbetweenacceleratingandrealisticconditions,thedegradationmodetobestudiedneedstobemechanisticallywell understood. This in turn is a prerequisite in order todesign in situ and ex situ diagnostic methods, which areable to give insight into the related physical property ofthe membrane electrode assembly or its components. ThiscontributionwilldiscusssomediagnosticmethodsforMEAsand the MEA components with respect to their usefulnessandlimits.

ThomaS j. SChmidT is R&D Director at BASF Fuel CellGmbH in Frankfurt/Main, Germany. He received hisUniversity Diploma in chemistry from the University ofUlm/Germany in1996andhisPhD in chemistry from thesameuniversityin2000.Thatsameyearhejoinedthegroupof P. N. Ross at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory asa Chemistry Postdoctoral Fellow. During this period, heintensively studied the fundamentals of electrocatalysisof fuel cell reactions. He continued to work with G.

Status and Outlook on the Photovoltaic Solar Industry Based on Solar Cell R&D

by Bolko von Roedern

Sunday, October 101830hGrande D, 1st Floor

bolko von roedern is a SeniorProject Leader at the NationalCenter for Photovoltaics at theNational Renewable EnergyLaboratory (NREL). Dr. vonRoedern received his physicsdiploma (Dipl. Phys.) fromClausthal Technical University,Germany, in 1975. He received

hisPhDinphysics(Dr.Rer.Nat.) fromStuttgartUniversity,Germany, and did research at the Max Planck Institute forSolidStateResearchinStuttgart(1979).

Dr. von Roedern moved to Colorado in 1983 when hewas hired by NREL (then SERI), after working on a SERIsubcontract as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University.Asaseniorscientist,hedevelopedamorphous-silicon-based(a-Si) solar cells within SERI’s in-house amorphous silicongroup. In 1985, he joined a start-up company, GlasstechSolar, Inc. (GSI) in Wheat Ridge, CO, managing all aspectsof the technology developments as well as the day-to-day operations. GSI developed a turnkey a-Si photovoltaicmodule manufacturing line. GSI was formed by the sameinvestorsthatfoundedtheprecursortoFirstSolar,SolarCellsIncorporated(SCI).

In 1990, he returned to SERI as a Project Manager inthe Amorphous Silicon Research Project. This project wasmerged into the Thin Film Partnership Project, and since1992,hehasbeenpartofathree-personteamresponsibleforsupporting,throughsubcontracts,amorphousandcrystallineSi, cadmium telluride, and copper indium diselenide thin-film photovoltaic R&D and technology. Together with hiscolleagues, he was among the finalists of the 1999 WorldTechnology Award for Energy, the Thin Film Partnership;andincollaborationwithNRELsubcontractorshasalsowonseveralawardsandrecognitions(RD100,etc.).

From 1992 to 2006, he was involved in national R&Dteams supporting the work of the Thin Film Partnership,andfrom1996to2006,hemanagedthea-Sinationalteam.Since 2007, he has been the technical monitor for some

major Technology Pathway Partnership programs financedthrough DOE (Golden Office), as well as managing someNREL PV incubator subcontracts. Scientifically, he pursuesan evaluation of how material quality will affect solar cellperformance, and he is intimately familiar with manytechniquesusedtoevaluatesemiconductorpropertiesofbulkand thin film semiconductor materials and devices. Since2008,hehasalsobeeninvolvedasthephotovoltaicliaisonfortheSolarAdvisoryModel(SAM).
