Yangzhou: LED heart production center

With yesterday (January 3rd) branch of Semiconductor Lighting Co Ltd 50 MOCVD (wafer production equipment) all in place, Yangzhou city MOCVD equipment total exceeded 100, reached 134, ranked the forefront of mainland, Yangzhou became a center for the production marks the epitaxial wafer of the Chinese worthy of the name.

Epitaxial film is the most upstream of the entire LED industry chain. Yangzhou City Commission by letter Geng Jiangbo, director of the Department of industrial policy, said, as LED's heart, epitaxial wafer is the main raw material for the manufacture of chips. To some extent, who mastered the epitaxial film R & D and production, who will be able to grasp the right to speak LED industry. From the market point of view, in the LED industry chain, epitaxial wafers and chips accounted for 70% of the profits, with the extensive application of epitaxial films in the backlight and commercial lighting and other fields, epitaxial film demand was explosive growth.

MOCVD is the key equipment for the production of epitaxial wafers, mainly imported from Germany and the United States, imported and installed a blue green MOCVD, the cost of up to 17 million yuan. Qian Dong, director of the Yangzhou Municipal Science and Technology Bureau, introduced as soon as possible to make up for the vacancy of this industry, stretching the growth of the LED industry chain, the municipal government in August 2009 issued a policy on MOCVD heavily subsidized. Every enterprise to buy a MOCVD equipment, government subsidies 8 million or $10 million. In accordance with the original commitment, 134 MOCVD enjoy subsidies, only in 2011, the finance will come up with funds of $290 million. "

In the multiple policy stimulus, the enterprise MOCVD equipment purchase enthusiasm: lucidity 37 Taiwan, 21 Taiwan dry light...... Yangzhou MOCVD equipment has more than 100% of the original set of targets, the annual production capacity of 3 million 480 thousand epitaxial film. The new production of Semiconductor Lighting Co. Ltd is the first major MOCVD equipment in Yangzhou, at 50 MOCVD have been put in place, the partially completed commissioning and put into production, according to the introduction, after all production, with an annual output of 2 inch epitaxial wafers 1 million 200 thousand.
