Sanan expands HB-LED capacity with Veeco MOCVD reactors

Sanan OptoElectronics Co Ltd of Xiamen, China, which designs and manufactures full-color high-brightness (HB) LEDs, epitaxial wafers, photo-diode detectors and compound semiconductor solar cells, has placed multiple tool orders for TurboDisc metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) systems from epitaxial deposition, process, and metrology equipment maker Veeco Instruments Inc of Plainview NY, USA in order to expand its HB-LED manufacturing capacity. Sanan is already said to be China’s largest manufacturer of full-color LEDs.

“The addition of Veeco’s high-productivity MOCVD systems to our manufacturing facilities in Xiamen and Tianjin, China ensures that we can continue to increase output,” says Sanan’s CEO Simon Lin. “We are seeing increased demand for LEDs in such applications as general illumination, TV backlight and outdoor display,” he adds.

“We are looking forward to partnering with Sanan as they increase their high-volume production of HB-LED devices,” says Bill Miller, senior VP & general manager of Veeco’s MOCVD operations.

Veeco claims that its TurboDisc K465 GaN MOCVD system the industry's highest throughput available for high-volume production of GaN-based blue and green HB-LEDs, while its TurboDisc E475 As/P MOCVD system is engineered for high-volume production of red, orange and yellow HB-LEDs.
