JPSA exceeds laser system shipments in 2010 by 250%
JP SERCEL ASSOCIATES, a manufacturer of laser scribing and laser lift-off (LLO) systems for LED production, announced that their 2010 shipments of laser processing systems for LEDs is up 250% in the first 3 quarters of 2010 from 2009 shipments.
The increasing demand for high throughput 266nm front side scribing tools for sapphire, and HB LED wafers is being driven primarily by major Taiwanese and Korean manufacturers.
Founder and Chief Technical Officer of JPSA, Jeffrey Sercel said, “Our 266nm front side scribing continues to dominate the market because we are able to provide LED manufacturers higher throughput systems that enable more die to be packed onto each wafer. The increased die density and reduced damage from the laser scribing produces significantly higher yields than mechanical or saw dicing methods. To maintain our strong market presence, we continue to develop advanced processes in both scribing and laser lift-off applications, and expect these applications to lead the way for the LED market.”

orders systems for GaN HB blue LED production
laser lift-off systems is also shipping to LED manufacturers. The new wafer load and unload automation module, the IAP (Integrated Automation Platform), provides customers with dual-cassette wafer ports, further streamlining the manufacturing process, and increasing yields.
For continued development of advanced micromachining processes and production space, JPSA is in the final stages of expanding their Manchester, NH headquarters.
The completion is scheduled for October 2010 and will also provide state-of-the-art clean rooms, R&D laboratories, and ergonomic office space to accommodate growing customer service and engineering teams.
AIXTRON AG have announced an order for two further CRIUS 31x2-inch configuration deposition systems from Long De Xin. A company based in the PR China, Long De Xin placed the order during the second quarter of 2010 with both systems scheduled for shipment in the third quarter of 2010. They will be used for the manufacture of GaN ultra-high brightness (UHB) blue LEDs.
The local AIXTRON support team will commission the new reactors at the new Long De Xin facility at their mainland China production plant.
Mr. Jay Lin of Long De Xin comments, “Since the demand for our blue LEDs has been continuously growing we now have to significantly increase our production capacity. As we have found, the AIXTRON CRIUS ives up to its worldwide reputation for excellent process characteristics such as uniformity and efficiency becoming crucial for high-end HB LED production. My team is awaiting the arrival of the systems and looking forward to sharing the experience of their technical support team.”
