This document summarizes a model of financing risky research and development projects under conditions of asymmetric information. It examines how different types of informational imbalances impact equilibrium in venture capital markets. These asymmetries can involve a project's innate quality or the effort exerted by inventors and financiers. The model studies equilibrium screening and funding of projects when self-selection contracts are the only mechanism available, specifying investment levels and distribution of returns. Informational asymmetry about project quality and entrepreneur actions reduces inventor utility but increases effort and success rates, while asymmetry about financier actions further decreases inventor utility and leads to sub-optimal effort levels.

Semiconductor Industry Economics, R&D ProductivityIddo Hadar
The document summarizes the findings of the SEMI/Equipment Suppliers' Productivity Working Group regarding the economics of transitioning to 450mm wafer fabrication. The Working Group found that:
1) A wafer scale-up to 450mm would provide minimal economic benefits and would not be necessary to maintain historical cost reduction trends.
2) The true costs of transitioning to a new wafer size far outweigh the potential benefits. Equipment and infrastructure costs increase significantly while most fabrication costs are unaffected.
3) The semiconductor industry now faces limitations on research and development funding, requiring investment priorities to be based on rigorous analysis rather than historical assumptions. A 450mm transition was found to represent a low-return, high-risk investment

Bifacial PV modules can generate energy from the front and rear side of a PV module. Unlike mono-facial modules, the rear
side of bifacial modules is lined with cells to capture reflected and diffused irradiation. The nameplate power of the
rear side of the modules is however less than the front side.
