Japan SDK company expanded GaN Blue LED chip production based on

ShowaDenkoK.K company will be announced in the Japanese factories in Chiba to invest nearly $41 million to expand the GaN Blue LED productivity reached 200 million units per month based on. Blue LED chip production will also increase at the end of this year from 30 million units to 100 million units per month. Based on GaN Blue LED are mainly used in mobile phones and display, because new applications such as LCD backlight development in the next 5 years the annual growth rate of nearly 20% products. As for the blue LED chip production, SDK, plasma physics by "mixed gas plasma assisted physical vapor deposition treatment method combined with traditional metal organic chemical vapor deposition system and SDK patented phase deposition treatment for gallium nitride semiconductor crystal growth based on body. The new processing technology enables 4 inch epitaxial wafers to be used in high quality, which is not possible by conventional metal organic chemical vapor deposition systems. With this technology, SDK's goal is to improve product quality and enhance its competitive position, to achieve the world's highest level of brightness. In the middle of consolidation in the business plan, SDK company expanded its business to ultraviolet LED, GaN based blue / green LED and based on AlGaInP red / orange / yellow / Green micro LED. SDK company as a business growth point. Allocate resources to this area. SDK plans to increase its annual sales of UV LED chips in 2008 to 164 million.
