Kyma Technologies has graciously agreed to open its doors for people to observe the nSPEC in action. This is an ideal opportunity for semiconductor groups and Universities in the South Eastern region of the U.S. to learn about the powerful capabilities of nSPEC and its value to their respective applications.
“This is really a great partnership and opportunity for us, we are so thrilled that Kyma is happy with their purchase of an nSPEC and are excited to bring interested people and future partners to Kyma to see the nSPEC there,” says Matthew Putman, CEO of Nanotronics Imaging.
The nSPEC is an automated, optical, inspection device geared toward defect detection and characterisation of semiconductor wafers, dies and devices. It is a scanning optical microscope fully integrated with patented, image analysis processing.
It is claimed that never before has there been an automated machine that provides such crisp images and rich information about defects and features on semiconductor wafers.
Bridgelux Vero LED arrays raise the industry bar in
flexibility The capabilities of the Vero series arrays lead to shorter product development times, lower inventory requirements, reduced costs and more light with less energy
Bridgelux’s recently released Vero Series of LED Array products are now shipping.
These products have a performance efficacy of 120 lm/w nominal and 110 lm/w minimum average. This performance enhancement delivers energy savings of approximately 11 percent over the prior product generation and provides a significantly accelerated return on investment.
What’s more, the Vero Series arrays are now available with 2SDCM MacAdam and 3 SDCM options - raising the industry bar in colour control precision and uniformity.
on 3000K 80 CRI configurations driven at nominal currents. With some Vero configurations driven at lower currents, users can readily achieve efficacies up to 140 lm/w. The Vero arrays also deliver average minimums of 110 lm/w and provide designers with excellent design and manufacturable flexibility.
The Vero platform enables plug & play connectivity for lighting manufacturers, enabling leading solid state lighting product performance capabilities while streamlining production processes for lighting manufacturers. These capabilities lead to shorter product development times, lower inventory requirements, reduced costs and more light with less energy.
Beyond saving energy, the Bridgelux Vero Series of LED arrays provide customers with a standard option of choosing either 2SDCM or 3SDCM MacAdam colour control. Having more precise colour control options improves the quality of light by providing greater consistency and uniformity between adjacent light sources. This exciting advancement in colour control options with the Vero Array Series enables clean and consistent lighting installations with both high quality colour rendering and appearance. The Vero Series also exceeds California Energy Commission R9 requirements for luminaires and lamps.
Since the launch of the Vero platform just 4 months ago, XAL, Licht + Design, Amerlux, and Dongmyung have joined a rapidly growing list of the world’s most highly recognised global lighting manufacturers to incorporate Vero LED arrays into products for retail, commercial and other applications.
“The innovative feature set on-board in Vero Series arrays provides us with tremendous flexibility, particularly in designing new products for manufacturability,” said Harald Dirnberger, CEO of XAL in Austria. “The efficiency and lumens per watt performance that Bridgelux regularly delivers helps keep XAL products competitive in the marketplace and helps drive broader adoption of solid state lighting.”
Vero arrays are compatible with a wide variety of standard drivers (350mA increments) and optical components, providing manufacturers with greater flexibility and a wide range of options, shortening product development times, lowering inventory requirements and reducing costs. Electrical connections can be established with thermally isolated solder pads or by using a solder-less on-board connector port. The solder free connector port simplifies manufacturing processes, reduces production time/cost, and eliminates the potential for solder failures.
“The Vero arrays have been one of our most successful product offerings in our ten year history,” said Aaron Merrill, Director, Product Line Management of Bridgelux. “Solid state lighting is making huge gains in virtually every segment and geography, but we must continue to find ways to drive down total system costs, while increasing performance. Vero arrays will play an instrumental role in bringing new methodologies and technologies to the solid state lighting market, and provide a platform for the convergence of technologies required for smart lighting.”
