China’s Epilight chooses Veeco MOCVD systems for new LED fab in Hefei

Epitaxial deposition and process equipment maker Veeco Instruments Inc of Plainview, NY, USA says that in fourth-quarter 2010 Shanghai Epilight Technology Co Ltd placed a large multi-tool order for TurboDisc K465i metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) systems for its new high-brightness light-emitting diode (HB-LED) fabrication plant in Hefei, China.

“We installed a number of Veeco K465i tools in our Shanghai factory in mid-2010 and have been extremely pleased with their performance in our demanding high-volume LED production facility,” says Epilight’s president Wendi Liu. “We have therefore decided that Veeco equipment should form the foundation of our next round of capacity purchases for the Hefei Epilight fab,” he adds.

Epilight is one of the largest LED makers in China, notes William J. Miller, Ph.D., executive VP, Veeco’s Compound Semiconductor Business. The firm is engaged in the design, development, manufacture and distribution of HB-LEDs, epitaxial wafers, and chips.
