Avicena acquires microLED fab facility and engineering team from Nanosys

Avicena, a specialist in high-performance microLED-based chip-to-chip interconnects, announced that it has completed the acquisition of a microLED fabrication facility and associated engineering team from Nanosys.  This transaction significantly enhances Avicena’s capabilities in the development and manufacturing of high-speed GaN microLEDs optimized for parallel multi-Tbps interconnects.
 
The GaN microLED fab was previously owned by glō, which invested over $200 million in the development of best-in-class microLED displays including very significant investments in manufacturing capabilities. Nanosys acquired glō in May 2021.  Avicena had been using the Nanosys fab for the development of unique ultra-fast microLEDs.

The acquisition of the fab and associated engineering team significantly increases the development and manufacturing capabilities.
