Zhongsheng Optoelectronics successfully shipped China’s first gallium arsenide/indium phosphide MOCVD equipment

According to China Securities Network, Zhongsheng Optoelectronics Equipment (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as: Zhongsheng Optoelectronics) successfully shipped the first gallium arsenide/indium phosphide (GaAs/InP) epitaxial MOCVD (Metal Organic Compound Chemical Vapor Deposition) equipment ProMaxy PE to domestic customers on September 12.

It is reported that Zhongsheng Optoelectronics' ProMaxy PE equipment adopts independently innovative core technologies such as uniform gas transmission and fast switching control, aiming to effectively solve the interface characteristics control problem of epitaxial material growth such as optical communication/laser devices, and ensure the uniformity of epitaxial material thickness and composition, laying the foundation for improving the overall performance of the device.

Gallium arsenide/indium phosphide materials are widely used in fields such as optical communications, lasers, radio frequencies, high-efficiency solar cells, LED lighting and displays. Zhongsheng Optoelectronics successfully shipped the first gallium arsenide/indium phosphide epitaxial MOCVD equipment to domestic customers, which will effectively promote the healthy development of China's compound semiconductor industry.

According to data, Zhongsheng Optoelectronics was established in May 2011 and is headquartered in Zhangjiang High-Tech Park, Pudong, Shanghai. The company focuses on the research, development and production of MOCVD equipment for manufacturing LEDs and second/third generation semiconductor components. It is one of the few MOCVD manufacturing companies in China with independent core technology.

In addition, according to People's Daily Online, Zhongsheng Optoelectronics and China Microelectronics have worked together to break the long-term monopoly of Germany's Aixtron and the United States' Veeco on the Chinese market in the field of LED lighting.

At the beginning of this year, Zhongsheng Semiconductor R&D Center and Industrialization Base Project officially started construction. The total investment of the project is 540 million yuan, covering an area of 23 acres. The project company Zhongsheng Semiconductor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zhongsheng Optoelectronics. Its business focuses on the research and development, production, sales and technical services of key MOCVD equipment and technologies for the production of second- and third-generation semiconductor discrete devices.
