Sanan is the largest manufacturer of full color LEDs in Chinaand designs, develops and manufactures full color ultra high brightness (UHB) LEDs, epitaxial wafers, photo-diode detectors and compound solar cells.
Sanan has ordered the K465i which is said to have excellent wavelength uniformity and run- to-run repeatability, and as such is ideal for high volume LED manufacturing.
The K465i is also claimed to provide ease-of- tuning for fast process optimization on wafer sizes up to 8 inches and fast tool recovery time after maintenance.
The second system ordered is the TurboDisc E475 As/P MOCVD System and is engineered for high-volume production of red, orange and yellow HB-LEDs and offers a level of process control and reliability.
Mr. Simon Lin, CEO of Sanan, commented “Our new location in Wuhu will be China’s, and perhaps the world’s, largest manufacturing and research center for LED wafers and chips.”
“We selected Veeco’s K465i and E475 MOCVD systems because they are simply the best choice for high volume production of LEDs. Given the increased demand for LEDs in such applications as general illumination, TV backlight and outdoor displays, we intend to ramp our production quickly with Veeco as our chosen partner.”
Sanan announced recently that it plans to invest RMB 12 billion (approx. $1.7 billion USD) to build a LED manufacturing facility in Wuhu. According to Mr. Lin, “As we have commented in the past, it is our plan to purchase 200 MOCVD systems over the next 3 to 4 years.”
Bill Miller, Ph.D., Senior Vice President, General Manager of Veeco’s MOCVD Operations commented, “We are gratified that we can continue our long-standing relationship with Sanan as their preferred MOCVD supplier for their new world-class LED production
facility. We believe that the China market will drive significant advancement of the LED industry and Veeco, as the market-leading equipment provider in China, is well positioned to benefit from this growth.”
Singapore increases gas detection ability
Tiger Optics LLC, a leading manufacturer of laser-based trace gas analyzers renowned for clean technology, announced that Singapore’s National Metrology Centre (NMC) has selected the company’s LaserTrace Duo as a key component for its new gas laboratory.
Established in 1975, the NMC is the national measurement authority for the Republic of Singapore. With its purchase, NMC joins a dozen other national metrology institutes that have turned to Tiger Optics since the company’s first sale in mid-2001. Many of the institutes are using Tiger instruments as a transfer standard to calibrate their own gas standards for research and industrial purposes.
Some also rely on Tiger analyzers in their research of such problems as acid rain and global warming. Tiger instruments are employed in the metrology institutes of China, Finland, France, Germany, India, Japan, The Netherlands, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Tiger Optics holds exclusive rights to multiple, broad-based patents from Princeton University on the field-proven technology known as Continuous Wave Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CW-CRDS). The company’s instruments can detect down to low parts- per-trillion in a variety of gas matrices. The LaserTrace Duo met NMC’s demand for a multi-point, multi-species, multi-gas analyzer capable of simultaneously measuring trace concentrations of moisture and oxygen in pure gases.
