Foshan will produce LED chip manufacturing equipment to fill the domestic blank

Foshan in the LED chip core technology has made new breakthroughs in the field. This month, 8, by the South China Sea, private letter Zhao group independent research and development of the country's first semiconductor lighting chip core equipment successfully offline. This means that the domestic long-term dependence on imports of LED chip manufacturing equipment will be broken, to fill the gaps in the domestic core technology. Affected by this, the relevant LED product prices will drop significantly.

LED chip will be localization

It is understood that this device is the core technology in the LED industry chain, had been the United States, Germany, Japan monopoly. Domestic LED manufacturers use all the equipment imported, imported a price of about 15 million yuan. "The current general manager of Guangdong Zhaoxin Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Gan Zhi silver explained that the purchase cost of the equipment in 2/3 LED occupy the entire production line cost, which is the main reason of LED products is difficult to reduce.

Gan Zhiyin said that the device encountered many difficulties in the development process, and even foreign blockade. According to reports, the product data to test the equipment will retreat for 4 months, the fastest expected in May this year after entering the production phase, an estimated 5 years will reach 1 billion yuan output value.

The device in the South China Sea in Foshan off the assembly line, for the realization of the province's mass production of chip production took an important step. Science and Technology Department of Guangdong province high tech research fellow Lin Ping said that the country's first semiconductor lighting chip core equipment in Foshan off the assembly line, is a new breakthrough in the development of the semiconductor industry in Guangdong.

Foshan will have a complete LED industry chain

LED is the most promising industry in twenty-first Century, however, the upstream and downstream industry development is very uneven. Due to the downstream packaging and application of funds and technical requirements are relatively low, currently more than 80% of the LED companies are only low-end packaging business; but the LED chip and wafer and other upstream industries due to the technical and financial requirements are higher, so in less business, development lags behind.

He pointed out that in the previously published "Foshan electronic information industry development planning", this imbalance has great influence on the sustainable development capability and core competitiveness of China LED industry promotion, thus further improve the construction of the LED industry chain of great significance in the development of photovoltaic industry in Foshan.

This prototype is the next step of the transformation and upgrading of the development of the new engine. Foshan vice mayor Huang Ling said, Foshan has just been awarded the national Ministry of industry to become the country's first batch of new industrialization demonstration base electronic information (photoelectric display). It can be predicted that the core device of the semiconductor chip in the South China Sea in the assembly line in Foshan, to enhance the level of domestic LED chip technology, but also will promote the upgrading of existing enterprises to Foshan semiconductor. And Foshan will also become the first successful establishment of the epitaxial wafer from the upstream chip equipment, chip research, packaging, modules, lighting to the lighting industry, the whole industry chain of lighting industry.
