Veeco’s China Training Centre, located in Veeco China’s headquarters building in Shanghai
The CTC opened in mid-2011 to help key LED manufacturers, including its two largest customers, Sanan Optoelectronics and Elec-Tech International, scale-up production, optimise their use of MOCVD systems, and support the industry’s rapid growth.
Lin Zhiqiang, Chief Executive Officer of Sanan Optoelectronics, comments, “We congratulate Veeco on achieving this impressive milestone. By having a strong presence in China and establishing this state-of-the-art centre, Veeco has demonstrated industry leadership not just in MOCVD technology, but in customer support as well.”
LUXEON R LED
The LED has a minimum colour rendering index (CRI) of 70, and minimum flux ranges from 160 to 200 lumens at a minimum forward voltage of 2.5V. Lumileds offers CCT options of 3000K, 4000K, 5000K, 5700K and 6500K. “LUXEON R represents the continued evolution of our industry-leading chip, phosphor, and packaging technologies”, says Rahul Bammi, VP of Marketing at Philips Lumileds. “For our customers and ultimate end- users, our innovations are lowering the cost of providing ever improving lighting in parking lots and roadways.” LUXEON R has already been implemented in Lumec’s SoleCity, a uniquely modern family of outdoor lighting solutions that blends uniformity in design and optimum style with the performance and energy efficiency of LED technology.
Veeco Shanghai LED training centre reaches the 500 landmark
The centre trains customers on how to use the firm’s MOCVD reactors employed in LED manufacturing and has been commended by Sanan Optoelectronics and Elec-Tech International
Veeco Instruments says that it has trained its 500thcustomer engineer at its state-of-the-art China Training Centre (CTC), located in Shanghai.
“Sanan recently achieved record revenues in 2011 as an industry leader of high quality LEDs for applications such as general illumination, TV backlighting and outdoor displays. Veeco is helping Sanan to maximise the future LED growth opportunity by supporting our training needs and capacity ramp. We look forward to continuing our prosperous relationship with Veeco,” she concludes.
Greg Crema, CEO of Elec-Tech International’s LED Business, adds, “Veeco was first to recognise the importance of customer training as critical in the recipe for success in China. Their strong support, particularly in helping to train our engineers at the CTC, has enabled us to make significant progress scaling LED manufacturing capacity at our two sites in Wuhu and Yangzhou. Our goal is to become a top-three LED company by output and sales revenue in China within two years, focusing on the general lighting and BLU market, as well as other applications.”
John Peeler, Veeco’s Chief Executive Officer, comments, “In 2010 and 2011 China made an enormous investment to expand LED manufacturing capabilities to respond to its energy challenges and capitalise on the global opportunity as LED lighting hits an inflection point. During this timeframe, Veeco shipped over 400 MOCVD systems to Chinese customers, including the established LED manufacturers, joint venture entities, and start-ups. Every one of these customers is unique, and we are focused on delivering the best-in-class support and systems they will need for future growth and success.”
Veeco’s CTC is located in Veeco China’s headquarters building and staffed by local, highly trained Veeco instructors. Approximately 1,700 square metres in size, it features three fully equipped classrooms as well as Veeco’s TurboDisc K465i MOCVD System for hands-on training. The CTC has a comprehensive schedule of classes including basic MOCVD system training, epitaxial layer optimisation introductions and advanced hands-on classes in hardware maintenance and trouble-shooting.
