November 3, 2009…SemiLEDs Corporation of Boise, Idaho USA, announced the successful introduction of the Aixtron Close Coupled Showerhead Crius MOCVD system with 7×4 inch configuration from Aixtron into its 4” Fab. SemiLEDs reports that it has shifted its mass production of VLED to 4 inch wafers. According to SemiLEDs, the shift greatly increases production capacity to meet strong demand for high end applications, such as street or home lighting. SemiLEDs’ state of the art 4 inch LED Fab located in Taiwan will be able to produce 10KK high power VLED when running at full capacity.
SemiLEDs insists that mass production using 4 inch wafers increases its production capacity to keep pace with increasing demand and to shorten lead times for its customers; furthermore, as announced at the China SSL conference 2009, using I-core MvpLED chips, SemiLEDs’ packaging customers have achieved 120lm/watt cool white running at 350mA
