Dalian Lu Ming: the rise of China's semiconductor lighting industry

In early March, Dalian Lu Ming group and Beijing Film Museum China signed the first phase of 6 million yuan worth of 3000 square meters of the circular hall display dynamic contract, which marks the domestic semiconductor lighting chip R & D, production and other fields have made great progress. March 24th, we visited the production of "China core" - based high-tech enterprises - Dalian road Ming Technology Group Co., ltd.. "From the beginning of 2003, the company passed from the introduction into the development path of independent innovation. At present, it has become the world's only a few have at the same time light-emitting materials and light-emitting chips two core semiconductor lighting industry core technology enterprises, so that China's semiconductor lighting industry to reach the world's leading level." In the chip production workshop, we met the chairman and President of the company - Xiao Zhiguo.

1992, a small Research Institute in Dalian, more than a dozen technicians rely on less than 200 thousand yuan of research funding, quietly engaged in the research work of the semiconductor lighting industry. This small research institute is the predecessor of Dalian Luming Technology Group Co., ltd.. After 15 years of development, now the company has become a semiconductor light-emitting chip and wafer, lighting display, rare earth luminescent materials and products, nano functional materials, Photoelectric Industrial Park 5 industrial sectors, 100 more than the world's leading invention patents and more than 10 holdings or a wholly owned subsidiary of the internationalized enterprise, marketing and service system covering all major regions of the world.

What are the factors that make a small research institute a major impact on the development of the semiconductor lighting industry in the world? "The two venture" has become a booster for the development of the Ming dynasty." Company president Xiao Zhiguo in the essay. With the third generation of semiconductor materials Gan breakthrough and blue, green light-emitting diode, we predict that the new semiconductor lighting technology revolution is coming. In 2003, the opportunity approached Lu Ming quietly." LED is a light emitting diode in the semiconductor lighting industry. LED chip power can be issued after the color of pure red, yellow, blue and green monochromatic light, therefore, as required for semiconductor lighting in the two core technology of light-emitting chip and master and application of luminescent materials, has become a key sign leading the world photovoltaic industry.

Located in the Yellow Sea Dalian economic and Technological Development Zone Avenue Dalian Lumei chip science & Technology Co Ltd production workshop, a Taiwan and Taiwan worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in chip production equipment by skilled workers operating. He Xiaoguang, general manager of the company, said: the predecessor of the United States and the United States was established in 1998, the United States crystal technology group (referred to as AXT) photoelectric company. At that time, AXT has invested tens of millions of dollars for semiconductor wafer, light emitting chip and LD laser chip technology development and manufacturing, is the world's only two high-power LED suppliers, with more than 30 international patents, technical level in the United States second, fourth in the world." For such a semiconductor lighting companies, Xiao Zhiguo made a bold decision in September 2003, mergers and acquisitions AXT company. Previously, as the epitaxial wafer growth, light-emitting chip and package three main links of semiconductor lighting industry in China is still in the low-end technology, the key link in almost no competition, far behind the United States, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan region. The success of mergers and acquisitions, not only the introduction of technology, equipment and patents, there are more than 50 companies in America, the main research and development team, to achieve China high-quality LED light emitting chip breakthrough, the Lu Ming group to become the world's one of the few to have both luminescent material and luminescent chip manufacturing technology of semiconductor lighting industry two the core of the well-known enterprises. M & a AXT company to make China's semiconductor lighting industry, the key technology that epitaxial wafer and chip technology to shorten the 10 years, for the road to the world's leading chip research and development, production technology to create a space for development.

At present, Dalian Lu Ming Group has the world's first invention, mastered new luminescent materials preparation and application technology, and has a variety of luminescent materials and light emitting chips more than 100 core patented technology, the core technology of wafer and chip production to Europe and Japan, South Korea and Taiwan over the level of technology. To strengthen and expand the semiconductor lighting industry, Lu Ming Group has been formed to Dalian light production enterprises upstream Ning, Dalian Kolid and other raw materials as the foundation with independent intellectual property rights of semiconductor lighting upstream industry chain, and has China Hualu, Daxian group, the Great Wall electronics and other more than and 130 downstream industry chain. Lu Ming group of high quality LED blue, green, blue and green chips from C9 to C12 type, high-power chips from P1 to P3. 2006, Dalian, the United States and the United States chip production will be expanded from 600 million last year to 3 billion.
