Explaining a Complex Technology

Hyperion, is part of a manufacturing solution owned by GT Advanced Tecnologies, to solve the problem of thick wafers with a technique called Proton Induced Exfoliation (PIE). In PIE, high-energy protons (or hydrogen ions) are embedded into “donor” wafers — standard wafers of silicon, germanium or other single-crystal materials— where they form a uniform layer beneath the surface of the donor.
We produced this video in just three days. It was written and narrated by Geoff Ryding, a world leader in innovative ion implantation. We worked as a team to simplify the presentation of a very complex technology.
