Introduction

2

In the present patent search we studied the most active technology fields based on patent publications since 2009 to September, 2014.

The patent search is conducted in world-wide patent database PatentInspiration according to CPC patent classifications.

CPC patent classification system covers over 250 000 technology fields and there are over 41 million patent documents published that are indexed with CPC technology classification codes.

NB! This is an experimental search and it does not reflect 100% accurate results.

1. Photovoltaic [PV] energy (Y02E10/50) Photovoltaics (PV) is a method of generating electrical power by converting sunlight into direct current electricity using semiconducting materials that exhibit the photovoltaic effect. A photovoltaic system employs solar panels composed of a number of solar cells to supply usable solar power. Power generation from solar PV has long been seen as a clean sustainable[1] energy technology which draws upon the planet’s most plentiful and widely distributed renewable energy source – the sun. The direct conversion of sunlight to electricity occurs without any moving parts or environmental emissions during operation.

2. Lithium-ion batteries (Y02E60/122 & Y02T10/7011)

A lithium-ion batteries are common in consumer electronics. They are one of the most popular types of rechargeable batteries for portable electronics, with a high energy density, no memory effect, and only a slow loss of charge when not in use. Beyond consumer electronics, LIBs are also growing in popularity for military, electric vehicle and aerospace applications.

4. Point-like miniature light sources, e.g. emitting diodes (LEDs) (F21Y2101/02)

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a two-lead semiconductor light source. When a fitting voltage is applied to the leads, electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence, and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy band gap of the semiconductor.

6. Arched shaped wire connectors connecting or disconnecting semiconductor or solid-state bodies and methods related thereto (H01L2224/48091)

Wire bonding is the method of making interconnections between an integrated circuit (IC) or other semiconductor device and its packaging during semiconductor device fabrication. Wire bonding can be used to connect an IC to other electronics or to connect from one PCB to another. Wire bonding is considered the most cost-effective and flexible interconnect technology, and is used to assemble the vast majority of semiconductor packages.
