MicroLink Devices, Inc., (mldevices.com) with headquarters in Niles, Illinois, is a compound semiconductor solutions company that specializes in metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) growth of semiconductor structures. Their innovative technology is applied in wireless communications devices and in advanced solar cells for space, unmanned aerial vehicles, and terrestrial use. Since 2003, MicroLink has been a prime federal contractor on more than thirty programs to develop solar cells, transistors, and lasers. MicroLink's advanced GaAs-based solar cells utilize the company's proprietary epitaxial lift-off (ELO) technology. This allows solar cell structures to be removed from the original substrate to produce a more efficient, lightweight, and flexible finished solar cell.
