Exposing semiconductor chip to aqueous environments typically induces rapid galvanic corrosion, electrolysis, and catastrophic short-circuiting. Therefore, special protective solutions like bulky hermetic seals, quartz windows, or robust encapsulation, while necessary, often introduce significant thermal resistance and optical losses. According to Elphoton, the W2C® technology circumvents these limitations by fundamentally addressing the failure mechanisms at the electrode level. Through a proprietary electrode design and passivation strategy, the company has solved the…
