LEDs ♦ news digest
William J. Miller, Veeco’s Executive Vice President, comments, “We are pleased to continue our partnership with Sanan and look forward to supporting their expansion plans. According to IHS - IMS Research, a leading LED industry research firm, China remains the largest region in LED chip production with the most potential for adoption across all lighting applications. We believe Sanan is well positioned to capitalize on that growth.”
Veeco’s TurboDisc MaxBright M GaN MOCVD Multi-Reactor System is one of the industry’s highest footprint efficiency MOCVD systems designed to manufacture high quality, high brightness light emitting diodes. The MaxBright M provides up to 15 percent improved footprint efficiency, easier serviceability and offers flexible layout configurations compared to the original MaxBright.
Sanan Optoelectronics is engaged in the design, development, manufacture and distribution of full colour ultra-high brightness LEDs, epitaxial wafers, photo-diode detectors and compound solar cells. The company is headquartered in Xiamen, PRC.
KaiStar selects Veeco to support LED manufacturing ramp
The joint venture will use Veeco’s MOCVD reactor to increase its indium gallium nitride (InGaN) LED production
KaiStar Lighting ordered multiple Veeco TurboDisc MaxBright M MOCVD Systems in the second quarter of 2013.
demand for LEDs for backlighting and general illumination applications. We have been delighted with the performance of Veeco’s production-proven MOCVD systems, which provide high productivity and low cost of ownership. Combined with their excellent service and support, it was an easy decision for us to again turn to Veeco for our manufacturing ramp.”
William J. Miller, Veeco’s Executive Vice President, adds, “We are gratified that KaiStar has again chosen Veeco as their MOCVD supplier of choice as they ramp production. As always, we are committed to help them achieve their manufacturing goals.”

KaiStar has registered capital of $120 million. The company plans to focus on the lighting market through the production of InGaN LEDs for lighting and backlighting applications, lamps and automotive products.
Meaglow to upgrade ALD nitride deposition tool in Turkey
The hollow cathode plasma source reduces the oxygen contamination in ALD systems and increases the quality of thin III-nitride films during growth
Meaglow is to install a hollow cathode plasma source for the group of Necmi Biyikli, a professor at the Institute of Materials Science and Nanotechnology, at Bilkent University in Turkey.
The plasma source is being used to upgrade their Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) system by replacing an inductively coupled plasma source. This enhancement will reduce the oxygen contamination in ALD systems and increase the quality of nitride thin films grown.
The III-nitrides grown at the university with the ALD system are used for LEDs and power electronic applications. The actual materials grown using the system are AlN, GaN and InN.
Bilkent University researchers will be presenting some of their findings about suitable applications for these products at the ALD 2013 conference on Wednesday.:
KaiStar, a joint venture between Epistar Corporation and Shenzhen Kaifa Technology Co., Ltd., is based in Xiamen, China. The systems will be added to KaiStar’s current installed base of Veeco MOCVD systems as part of their 2013 capacity expansion plan.
MJ Jou, President of Epistar Corporation, comments, “This latest capacity expansion is based on our customers’ growing
The presentation will take place from 9:00 - 9:15am and is entiltled, “Characterization and Electronic Device Applications of III-nitride Thin Films Deposited by Plasma-enhanced ALD,” and will be presented by student finalist C. Ozgit-Akgun from Bilkent.
“The Bilkent system was easy to retrofit and the Meaglow Plasma source was the perfect solution for their oxygen
