GaN as a semi-conducting material for electronics is about to be launched on the market, especially for the use in blue- and UV-emitting LEDs and laser diodes [2]. The material is deposited on crystalline substrates like sapphire using thin-film epitactical techniques. Often, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) is used. The necessity for such technologies limits the production rate and pushes up costs. 

Market and actors The market for bio varnishes is rather a niche market (accounting for approximately 2% of the entire paint and lacquer market).
