LED chip manufacturing equipment output value is expected to exceed 1 billion

Under the influence of the financial crisis, many companies have cut the thin winter, however, Guangdong Foshan City, Akinobu Group Co. Ltd. is upstream, production of semiconductor lighting chip equipment project. It is understood that the project was developed by Huazhong University of Science and Technology professor Gan Zhiyin research and development team, and with the letter of the group reached a cooperative development agreement. Production, research and the two sides after the full demonstration of the project, assessment, to determine the project budget investment of about 500 million yuan, the first phase of investment of $80 million.

Chip device of semiconductor lighting is photoelectric chip external equipment, is the most important LED in the process of production equipment, production technology is the key technology of the epitaxial wafer, the value of the whole industry chain of production equipment cost (wafer - chip packaging application) 70%. At present, as the upper and middle reaches of the epitaxial wafer and chip technology, there are strict technical barriers internationally, only a few companies in Europe, the United States, japan. This makes the domestic LED industry overall level is not high at the same time, have to rely on imports of foreign chip manufacturing equipment. Chairman Liang Fengyi said that the chip equipment of semiconductor lighting, LED as the upstream industry, previously only import equipment from abroad to produce LED products, but now means that the mainland will use their own manufacturing equipment to the production of LED products.

At present, the project has completed all the technical data of the project, is preparing for the project prototype trial and project industrialization. According to Professor Gan Zhiyin revealed that the prototype is expected to be operational within a year. Once the domestic semiconductor lighting chip equipment industry market, the domestic semiconductor lighting industry truly mastered the technology initiative and the commanding point, will enable the LED chip production investment cost is greatly reduced, which will bring revolutionary influence to the mainland LED industry, domestic and even foreign LED packaging product prices will be greatly decreased.

LED lamp is still in the trial stage in the mainland, the extensive promotion of resistance is its high cost. One of the most fundamental reason is that the high price of semiconductor lighting chip equipment imported high cost of chip production. Gan Chi silver professor said that currently imported from abroad a semiconductor lighting chip equipment to 15 million yuan, often a chip manufacturer needs to purchase more than one device to achieve a certain scale of production. The high cost of acquisition hindered the development of the industry. Liang Fengyi also said that the semiconductor lighting chip technology in the domestic R & D success, will break the monopoly of a few foreign companies upstream industry situation. "

The financial crisis affected the various industries, Liang Fengyi admitted that the export volume of the group also declined. Because of this, upgrading and transformation of traditional industries is particularly important. In this regard, Lin Yuan and believes that this is a representative of the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. At present, Foshan and the Pearl River Delta are seeking the road of industrial transformation, under the influence of the financial crisis, the upgrading of processing and manufacturing industry is imminent. The next 2 to 3 years, the LED industry will be more intense competition, who mastered the core technology who occupied the cost advantage. Liang Fengyi said, with the increasingly widespread application of LED lighting technology, pregnant with the huge market potential of semiconductor lighting chip devices. According to reports, prototype trial success, is expected in the next five years to achieve the output value of 10 ~ 3 billion yuan.
