The gases and chemicals that are consumed during the manufacturing of LEDs make a considerable contribution to device costs. But savings are possible by switching to a new MOCVD design with a flared chamber profile. This not only trims gas consumption by up to 40 percent but also shortens the growth interruption between layers, leading to improved multiple quantum well quality, say Frank Campanale, Mike Begarney and Tom Ryan from Valence Process Equipment.
