In both the U.S. and China, AXT maintains a multi-disciplinary team of skilled scientists, engineers, and technicians, who focus on enhancing our three main substrates for haze reduction, improved yield, enhanced surface and electrical characteristics and uniformity, greater substrate strength, increased crystal length, and overall surface quality. We are also investigating additional substrate materials such as gallium nitride, and silicon carbide.
In addition to our regular ongoing programs, we conduct R&D as a function of our customers' requirements, collaborating with them to develop products in response to their long-term needs.

| Vertical gradient freeze (VGF) technology is a proven technique for growing semiconductors composed of multiple elements that include: gallium, arsenic, indium, and phosphorus. Such semiconductors offer capabilities that exceed those of wafers created on a single crystal silicon substrate. Although AT&T Bell Labs pioneered VGF technology in the early 1980s, the founders of AXT, Inc. were the first to independently commercialize the process and make its benefits available to the market.
