Kyoto Semiconductor Announces Two UV Sensors for Deep UV Sensing Applications
Kyoto Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (President and CEO Yoshihisa Shinya, Head office: Fushimi-ku, Kyoto city), a leading optical device solution manufacturer with world-class technologies and Japanese quality, has announced two products of GaN*1 UV sensor; "KPDU086SU27-H11Q and KPDU086SU31-H11Q".

The UV sensors "KPDU086SU27-H11Q" and "KPDU086SU31-H11Q" were developed with the aim of achieving higher sensitivity than conventional Si*2 type UV sensors to meet the needs of the deep UV*3 sensing market.
Since conventional Si-type UV sensors detect a wide range of wavelengths, it is common to apply a filter to limit the sensitivity to the UV wavelength range. The amount of light was attenuated by passing through the filter.
The newly developed KPDU086SU27-H11Q and KPDU086SU31-H11Q use GaN to enable direct light reception at the light receiving part of the sensor without using a filter as GaN has sensitivity to a specific wavelength range of ultraviolet light. It is now possible to obtain approximately three times as high sensitivity as Si-type UV sensors. *4
In addition, the products have sensitivity in the wavelength range limited to UV-B*5 and UV-C*6, which are in high demand among ultraviolet rays.
The new products can be used to monitor the ultraviolet light intensity of germicidal lamps in food factories, medical institutions, and water purification-related institutions, and to monitor the light intensity of ozone detection light sources.
The mass production of the GaN UV sensors "KPDU086SU27-H11Q and KPDU086SU31-H11Q" are scheduled to start on April 28, 2023.

Lenovo ranks Eighth in the Gartner® Supply Chain Top 25 for 202330.5.2023 20:11:00 EEST | Press release
Lenovo has once again been named in the Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 for 2023, ranking eighth in this list of global companies with supply chains. The Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 identifies, celebrates and profiles supply chain excellence on a global scale, and by target region and industry. Now in its 19th year, the global ranking is a peer benchmark for chief supply chain officers (CSCO) and their teams, inspiring innovation and leadership. The Supply Chain Top 25 ranking comprises two main components: business performance and opinion. Business performance in the form of public financial and ESG (environmental, social, governance) data provides a view into how companies have performed in the past three years, while the opinion component offers an eye to future potential and reflects leadership in the supply chain community. These two components are combined into a total composite score. Lenovo has fully embraced digital transformation within its complex and global supply chain, and by
