Epitaxial film industry in Yangzhou province took the lead

Semiconductor lighting (LED) industry can not be bigger and stronger, the key is whether the epitaxial film industrial production. Recently, good news came from the Yangzhou branch of semiconductor lighting R & D center, the company successfully produced the first batch of GaN Blue LED epitaxial wafer of high-end products. This marks the first in Yangzhou province to achieve epitaxial film production, the focus of the development of the LED industry is entering the acceleration period".

Due to the characteristics of energy saving and environmental protection, LED industry is developing rapidly worldwide. According to the analysis of the world's authoritative institutions, is expected to 2011, the global LED output value will reach $12 billion 500 million. Among them, the high power and high brightness LED chip will be the mainstream of the future market applications, outside the film is the main raw material for the manufacture of chips, the upstream and most important part of the LED industry chain. It is understood that due to the upper reaches of the LED industry technology and capital requirements are higher, so the number of domestic LED industry upstream enterprises less. Yangzhou branch of semiconductor lighting R & D center is a city development zone, the introduction of Semiconductor Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences technology shares engaged in the formation of epitaxial wafer and semiconductor lighting product development, production and sales of high-tech enterprises, registered capital of 45 million yuan.

The company was established in October last year, invested $about 2000000 from Germany to introduce one of the world's most advanced MOCVD, the rapid expansion of the Chinese Academy of Sciences semiconductor epitaxial wafer technology achievements. According to preliminary testing, the company's output epitaxial film products are expected to achieve the technical indicators, and reached the international advanced level of similar products. The company official said, the company will increase investment in the near future, the introduction of more MOCVD, expand production scale, in accordance with the design capacity, this year's sales will be billions of dollars. Currently, the project has declared a national research projects, and into the national development and Reform Commission's project development plan.

As a key development in recent years the emerging one of the pillar industries in our city, in the Yangzhou Economic Development Zone Planning and construction of the new light industrial park covers an area of 2 square kilometers, the end of last year, Sixth National Semiconductor Lighting industrialization base of flower in Yangzhou. Epitaxial film to achieve industrial production, the city bigger and stronger LED industry undoubtedly has an important role in promoting. "The City Development Zone, responsible person said, on the one hand, can" First come, first served. ", will the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of semiconductor research on LED rapid transformation of scientific and technological achievements, leading enterprises in the industry, the industrial chain elongated thickening; on the other hand, to attract more domestic and foreign well-known research institutions, high-tech enterprises to" pitch camp ", to further enhance the degree of industrial agglomeration.
