CNRS medals: Jean Massies honored (11/2008)
Jean Massies CNRS Research
Director at CRHEA, officially received the CNRS silver medal at a ceremony
on November 27, 2008 at CRHEA. This distinction crowns his work on molecular
beam epitaxy (MBE) and gallium nitride (GaN). This material makes it
possible to produce blue diodes which, with the increase in power of
the light-emitting diodes (LEDs), is about to revolutionize the lighting.

CNRS-CRHEA : 1st french blue laser diode (1995)

The
first French semiconductor diode emitting in blue was made by CRHEA
in Sophia Antipolis. This remarkable result was obtained after seven
months of work by the team and professor Jean-Pierre Faurie, who presents
here the progress of his research and the equipment used for the manufacture
of the laser diode (epitaxy chamber where ultra-high vacuum).
