Collaborative Innovation Center of Solid-State Lighting and Energy-Saving Electronics
Introduction
Collaborative Innovation Center of Solid-State Lighting and Energy-Saving Electronics is led by Nanjing University, mainly participated by Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Peking University, Tsinghua University, and China Solid State Lighting Alliance, and co-sponsored by 11 units including Nanjing University of Technology, the Suzhou Institute of Nano-tech and Nano-bionics (SINANO), The 55th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, Nanjing, Jiangsu Nata Opto-electronic Material Co., Ltd, Nanjing Handson Company Limited etc. The Center includes key universities, research institutes and major business players in this technical field in Jiangsu Province, covering whole technology chain of the industry. Thus, the Center is formed through powerful combination and complementary advantages.
The center has integrated the common laboratories, professional laboratories and administrative rooms of all the major participating agencies. The total area of existing buildings is about 50,000 square meters, including Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Materials (Nanjing University) Institute of Semiconductors (Chinese Academy of Sciences), Center for Wide Band Gap Semiconductors and National Key Laboratory of Micro/Nano Fabrication Technology (Peking University), National Institute of Information Science and Technology Laboratory (in preparation, Tsinghua University), etc. The Center integrates a number of advanced material fabrication platform and a lots of world-class level instruments and equipment, of which more than 10 with values over 10 million CNY, the total value is over 300 million CNY. During the construction of the Center, 8,000 square meters laboratories for technology transfer has been put up in the Nanjing Xingang base.
The Center has set up six technical innovation platforms (key basic source materials, advanced epitaxial technology, high-quality chip and intelligent high-efficiency driving technology, high-power packaging technology, new application core technology, advanced energy-saving electronic device technology) and Standard Research and Technology Extension Platform to achieve the optimal efficiency of scientific research and high level of talent attraction and training.
The Center has set up an outstanding talent team, including 252 fixed researchers, 250 graduate students, of which including 7 academicians, 1 from “Foreign Global Experts Program”, 4 from “Global Experts Program”, 8 from “Global Young Experts Program”, 15 Chief Professors from “973 Project” and the national key special programs, also 7 national innovative groups.
The Center has obtained 142 national key R & D projects and other research projects, received new research funding of 495.4 million CNY, participated in 18 standard-settings, published 336 high level research papers, applied/granted more than 400 patents and obtained 21 national and provincial awards.
Through the transformation of innovative achievements to industries, the center helps to create output value of more than 3.1 billion.
