Group IV Semiconductor comes out of stealth mode
One of Vinod Khosla’s first investments under Khosla Ventures has come out of stealth mode. Ottawa-based Group IV Semiconductor, which is supposed to be making some kind of announcement later this week, now has a Web site and is talking more openly about its technology. The company is developing solid-state lighting based on 100 per cent silicon that would ultimately replace the standard incandescent light bulb. It believes it can match the efficiency and run-life of LEDs but with better light quality and at lower cost. Here’s a link to the story I wrote up back in May.
