LEDs ♦ news digest
While this design was mostly in the hands of a few big LED manufacturers (such as Cree or Lumileds), in 2013, Taiwanese manufacturers also started to develop it (Epistar, FOREPI and Genesis Photonics mostly).
In 2014, flip-chip technology should also make its way into the middle e LED market. Lumileds announced in Q3-2013 that it plans to introduce flip-chip technology into the middle power LED market; as the devices in this market have drawn the most attention from the 2013 general lighting applications market. Indeed, middle power LEDs (following the 2011 / 2012 overcapacity) have become mainstream in interior lighting applications.

Previously, QuantumClean’s facilities were either individually ISO 9001 certified, or certified in groups of facilities under different registrars.
“This achievement is another significant step forward in our global integration plan, ensuring that customers receive the same high quality service across our vast network of Advanced Technology Cleaning Centres,” says Tim Burrows, QuantumClean’s Director of Global Quality.
Burrows goes on to say, “QuantumClean’s Quality Policy states that the Company is dedicated to consistently delivering The Perfect Order to its customers through the application of rigid standard operating procedures, well-trained technicians, quantitative metrics and analytical methods, and continual improvement practices. Achieving global ISO 9001:2008 certification under one certificate is an important accomplishment to delivering the highest standard of services to our customers, i.e. The Perfect Order.”

FROM TECHNOLOGY-ORIENTED TO COST-ORIENTED MANUFACTURING
LED manufacturing still uses methods and practices that would be considered outdated in most semiconductor industries (e.g., manual wafer handling, with operators moving wafers with tweezers in (not so) clean rooms…). However, emergence of LED “giants” (such as Cree, Osram, Lumileds, Samsung or LG) have facilitated and speed up adoption of manufacturing paradigms from the IC industry to reduce overall manufacturing cost and increase product quality:
Yole believes the gap will widen between Tier-1s and other players, pushing forward for industry consolidation.
