Nuvoton Releases High-Power Ultraviolet Laser Diode (379 nm, 1.0 W)

KYOTO, Japan, Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nuvoton Technology Corporation Japan (hereinafter “NTCJ”) announced on January 20 the start of mass production of its high-power ultraviolet semiconductor laser (379 nm, 1.0 W), which delivers industry-leading (*) optical output in a 9.0-mm diameter CAN package (TO-9). This product achieves short wavelength, high output power, and long lifetime — three elements previously considered difficult for ultraviolet semiconductor lasers — through NTCJ’s proprietary device structure and advanced high-heat-dissipation packaging technology. As a result, it contributes to fine patterning and improved production throughput in maskless lithography for advanced semiconductor packaging.

(*) As of January 16, 2026, based on NTCJ’s research of semiconductor lasers emitting at 379 nm in a TO-9 CAN package under continuous-wave (CW) operation at a case temperature (Tc) of 25C.

As demand grows for information-processing capabilities driven by the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), there is increasing need for higher semiconductor performance. On the other hand, as transistor miniaturization approaches its physical and economic limits, semiconductor back-end package technologies and advanced semiconductor packaging, which allow integration by arranging multiple chips side by side or stacking them vertically, have been attracting attention.

One element supporting the evolution of these packaging technologies is maskless lithography. As a key light source in maskless lithography, semiconductor lasers have faced growing demands for shorter wavelengths closer to the i-line (365 nm) and higher output to enable finer wiring and improve equipment throughput. To meet these requirements, NTCJ has leveraged over 40 years of experience in laser design and manufacturing to develop and commercialize an ultraviolet semiconductor laser with a wavelength of 379 nm and an output of 1.0 W.

Ultraviolet semiconductor lasers generally suffer from significant heat generation caused by low wall-plug efficiency (WPE), and a tendency for device degradation caused by ultraviolet light, making stable operation at high output levels above 1.0 W difficult. To address this, NTCJ took a dual approach by focusing on both a “device structure that enhances WPE” and a “high thermal conduction package technology that effectively dissipates heat,” enabling NTCJ to develop a product that successfully combines short wavelength, high output, and long lifetime: a 1.0 W ultraviolet (379 nm) device. As a result, NTCJ is contributing to extending the lifetime of optical devices that utilize ultraviolet light.

The product has been newly added to NTCJ’s lineup of “semiconductor laser-based alternatives to mercury lamps,” providing customers with a new choice.

Details of the new product will be showcased at NTCJ’s booth at SPIE Photonics West 2026 in San Francisco, USA, and at OPIE’26 in Yokohama, Japan. NTCJ sincerely looks forward to welcoming visitors.

American Bitcoin’s $5B Nasdaq Debut Puts Trump-Backed Miner in Crypto Spotlight

The post American Bitcoin’s $5B Nasdaq Debut Puts Trump-Backed Miner in Crypto Spotlight appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways: American Bitcoin (ABTC) surged nearly 85% on its Nasdaq debut, briefly reaching a $5B valuation. The Trump family, alongside Hut 8 Mining, controls 98% of the newly merged crypto-mining entity. Eric Trump called Bitcoin “modern-day gold,” predicting it could reach $1 million per coin. American Bitcoin, a fast-rising crypto mining firm with strong political and institutional backing, has officially entered Wall Street. After merging with Gryphon Digital Mining, the company made its Nasdaq debut under the ticker ABTC, instantly drawing global attention to both its stock performance and its bold vision for Bitcoin’s future. Read More: Trump-Backed Crypto Firm Eyes Asia for Bold Bitcoin Expansion Nasdaq Debut: An Explosive First Day ABTC’s first day of trading proved as dramatic as expected. Shares surged almost 85% at the open, touching a peak of $14 before settling at lower levels by the close. That initial spike valued the company around $5 billion, positioning it as one of 2025’s most-watched listings. At the last session, ABTC has been trading at $7.28 per share, which is a small positive 2.97% per day. Although the price has decelerated since opening highs, analysts note that the company has been off to a strong start and early investor activity is a hard-to-find feat in a newly-launched crypto mining business. According to market watchers, the listing comes at a time of new momentum in the digital asset markets. With Bitcoin trading above $110,000 this quarter, American Bitcoin’s entry comes at a time when both institutional investors and retail traders are showing heightened interest in exposure to Bitcoin-linked equities.
