The capacity expansions for different TMA grades should meet the rapid growth in demand for specialty applications in the electronics, pharmaceutical and polymer industries.
Stewen also commented, “As a leading producer of high-quality, highly efficient, tailor-made organometallics, Chemtura offers a sustainable supply of essential products and services that enable industries to smoothly transition to clean and renewable energy generation, to support the mass production of LEDs via high-quality TMA precursors and raw material, and to make high-efficiency activators accessible for the next generation of single site catalysts (SSCs).”
He concluded, “Through permanent innovation, selective growth and future-oriented planning, we work in partnership with our customers in the pharmaceutical, solar, semiconductor, catalyst, glass and nuclear industries to meet their unique and often proprietary requirements.”
Lumileds Places Another Multiple Order With Aixtron
The manufacturer of high-power light emitting diodes (LEDs) and solid-state lighting products has placed a repeat order for multiple G4 HT MOCVD Planetary Reactor systems.
Aixtron has announced that in the second quarter Philips Lumileds Lighting Company placed a repeat order for multiple AIX 2800G4 HT MOCVD reactors which will be use for the production of its LUXEON power LEDs.
The MOCVD systems will be shipped within the next 2-3 quarters and will be installed in the state of the art production facility in San Jose, California.
Mike Pugh, Chief Procurement Officer of Philips Lumileds, commented, “We have carefully selected the Aixtron systems for our continuing capacity expansion program. As we are committed to meeting the needs of the illumination, automotive, and consumer electronics industries the new Aixtron reactors are an important part of that program. Our long-term successful relationship with Aixtron as a
key supplier gives us confidence that we will receive the support that is needed for a quick installation and successful startup of the new tools.”
Taiwan Still the Largest Semiconductor Equipment Market
According to SEMI, Taiwan is projected to be to be the largest market with $ 9.18 billion. Total semiconductor equipment sales worldwide are expected to reach $32.5 billion.
The mid-year edition of the SEMI Capital Equipment Forecast predicts that sales of global semiconductor equipment are growing in all regions in 2010. Taiwan is again, projected to be the largest market with US$ 9.18 billion. Total semiconductor equipment sales worldwide are expected to reach $32.5 billion.
Analysts indicate that Taiwan is expected to continue its investment momentum in capital equipment into 2011 with $9.3 billion market size which again puts Taiwan as the single largest semiconductor equipment market in the world.
“We see particularly strong investment from foundry players and DRAM makers as they are either building new capacities or aggressively migrating to more advanced nodes. We also see similar trend from outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) and LED sectors where equipment investments are heading to all-time highs this year,” said Clark Tseng, senior manager of SEMI Industry Research. For the materials market, driven by continuous capacity buildup, Taiwan is expected to show healthy growth to reach $8.8 billion in 2011 as the second largest market in the world
With the strong market expansion, SEMICON Taiwan 2010 returns to Taipei World Trade Center on September 8-10 with eight technology theme pavilions including LED, Green Management, Compound Semiconductor, CMP AOI and Secondary Markets.
Last year, SEMICON Taiwan had over 18,000 attendees, including buyers and engineers from major foundries and packaging houses in Taiwan, such as TSMC, UMC, MXIC, ASE and SPIL.
