Subsequently, III-V nitride device layers are grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) with 4H-polytype for all of the layers. The non-polar device does not contain any built-in electric field due to the spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization. The optoelectronic devices on the non-polar face exhibits higher emission efficiency with shorter emission wavelength because the electrons and holes are not spatially separated in the quantum well. Vertical device configuration for lasers and light emitting diodes (LEDs) using conductive 4H—AlGaN interlayer on conductive 4H—SiC substrates makes the chip size and series resistance smaller. The elimination of such electric field also improves the performance of high speed and high power transistors.

20150014030	COMPOSITION FOR FORMING SILVER ION DIFFUSION-SUPPRESSING LAYER, FILM FOR SILVER ION DIFFUSION-SUPPRESSING LAYER, CIRCUIT BOARD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, CONDUCTIVE FILM LAMINATE, AND TOUCH PANEL - A composition for forming a silver ion diffusion-suppressing layer includes an insulating resin and a compound including: a structure selected from the group consisting of a triazole structure, a thiadiazole structure and a benzimidazole structure; a mercapto group; and at least one hydrocarbon group optionally containing a heteroatom, with the total number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon group or groups being 5 or more. The composition for forming a silver ion diffusion-suppressing layer allows formation of a silver ion diffusion-suppressing layer capable of suppressing silver ion migration between metal interconnects containing silver or a silver alloy to improve the reliability on the insulation between the metal interconnects.	01-15-2015
20150370379	TOUCH PANEL AND RESIN COMPOSITION FOR FORMING PROTECTIVE LAYER - A touch panel having an input region and an outside region positioned outside the input region includes at least: a substrate; detection electrodes disposed on the substrate corresponding to the input region; lead-out wirings which are disposed on the substrate corresponding to the outside region and are electrically connected to the detection electrodes; and a protective layer disposed on the substrate corresponding to the outside region so as to cover the lead-out wirings. The protective layer is formed by using an epoxy resin, and the lead-out wirings contain metal silver and gelatin. In the touch panel, the occurrence of ion migration between lead-out wirings is further inhibited.	12-24-2015
