Veeco launches three new series of gallium nitride MOCVD devices

The Veeco company (NASDAQ: VECO) today announced the launch of 3 new market leading TurboDisc based metal organic chemical vapor deposition equipment (MOCVD), used in the production of high brightness light emitting diode (LEDs) two: TurboDisc MaxBright M, TurboDisc MaxBright and TurboDisc K465i HP MHP.

MaxBright M: more compact modular Veeco multi reaction chamber device. Compared with MaxBright MaxBright M can provide better service convenience, plant area utilization increased by 15%. This model has better layout flexibility to meet the requirements of different customers.

High performance version of the MaxBright MHP: modular "M" model. The wavelength uniformity of MaxBright MHP was increased by 20% compared with that of MaxBright. As a result of technological progress, the thermal and flow properties are improved, and the yield is improved. Compared with MaxBright MaxBright MHP lower cost of use.

K465i HP: is a high performance version of the Veeco SLR cavity MOCVD device. Compared with K465i, the uniformity of on-chip wavelength is increased by 20% and the cost is lower.

These new devices support 2 inch, 4 inch, 6 inch and 8 inch wafer growth. Existing MaxBright and K465i devices can easily be upgraded to a high-performance version of the site. All Veeco MOCVD devices have a low maintenance requirements of TurboDisc technology, which has the longest continuous production time and maximum production equipment.

Executive Vice President Dr. William J. Miller of Veeco process equipment said: "this is a series of new products for our customers to invest in customer and unique production environment better equipment operation provides great flexibility. MaxBright M, MaxBright MHP and K465i HP innovation stems from our listening to the views of customers and focus on improving the performance of the device, thereby promoting the yield and yield improvement. Yield and yield are the 2 key factors for the success of our customers. "

Veeco President & CEO John R. PeELer added: "this series of new products and the introduction of our professional degree in the industry leading technology and automation based on, can help reduce the production cost, thus accelerating the global popularity of LED lighting. Veeco will continue to be committed to providing the industry's largest capacity, maximum production and minimum cost of MOCVD equipment. "

According to IMS survey, the 2010 launch of the K465i device is the year's best-selling MOCVD device. MaxBright was launched in 2011 last year's best-selling machine. Compound semiconductor magazine recently awarded the Veeco compound semiconductor manufacturing award, commented that the MaxBright device is the biggest breakthrough in the compound semiconductor manufacturing industry over the past year
