Upstream of the chip MOCVD machine to enjoy

For expected 2011 LED backlight LCD TV (LED TV) market penetration will hit a record high, plus the LED lighting business officially detonated, fear will lead to global LED demand, LED epitaxial plant are all amplified more than 6 inch metal organic chemical vapor phase epitaxy (MOCVD) machine, following the Korean manufacturers after the Taiwan LED epitaxial lextar electronics factory has come under 6 inches MOCVD machine.

Ace MOCVD fifth generation machine has received Chinese, LED epitaxial plant, Philips Lumileds and other three optical orders, the company estimates the fifth generation output than previous generations more than double.

Ace (Aixtron) revealed, including lextar electronics, domestic LED epitaxial plant has been ordered to Ace 6 inch MOCVD machine, is expected in the second half will continue to supply machine. Compared to the Taiwanese, Korean LED epitaxial manufacturer the MOCVD machine without mercy, earlier had been purchased several sets of 6 inch MOCVD machine.

With the development of energy saving and carbon reduction policy fueled LED lighting market demand is also rising, in order to avoid the repetition of the old global supply crunch, LED epitaxial plant have increased investment in MOCVD platform, once let Ace, Vikky (Veeco) and other MOCVD equipment supply manufacturers even lead to be taken by surprise, a hard to find.

Focus on the future of LED demand will grow substantially, Ace has developed a 8 inch MOCVD machine to help customers reduce production costs, improve efficiency and capacity expansion. Ace pointed out that considering the customer's demand to upgrade, Ace 8 inch MOCVD machine volume and 8 inches below the machine had little difference, is the main area of the wafer groove structure, back will be able to easily upgrade replacement wafer slot.

In order to avoid the LED main lighting needs after germination, LED supply crunch, Lunda electronics is expected before the end of this year will have eighty sets of MOCVD machine in 2011 will continue to increase fifty MOCVD, with 4 to 6 inch machine, so until the end of 2011, there will be a total of one hundred and thirty MOCVD units, as of 2012 will depend on the market the demand of expanding 6 ~ 8 inch MOCVD machine.
