Taiwan have translated directly into high quality product performance

We have aggressive plans for our joint venture in Jiang Su province, PR China with a total of fifty systems to be in place within the next three years. The excellent performance we have received from our existing Planetary and Showerhead systems from AIXTRON at FOREPI in Taiwan have translated directly into high quality product performance, yield, and cost of ownership.

Specifically, the new reactors in this latest order are destined not only for a new facility but also a new application research topic. Therefore, as these plans unfold the new joint venture in China will allow us to be very close to many of our customers increasing production capacity and to meet their future needs in new device technology. Working in partnership with led high bay light support team we can bring these tools onstream quickly ramping up HB GaN LED epiwafer production in response to strong local market demand.”

The new plant is the second LED chip manufacturing facility of YAHAM Opto Semiconductors. It will produce LED chips in indium-gallium-nitride technology on 4-inch wafers, serving as the basis for blue, green and white LEDs. Together with its Regensburg (Germany) LED chip plant, YAHAM is poised to respond quickly to the fast growing LED market with superior quality, sufficient quantities and at cost advantages.

The production facility in Penang makes YAHAM Opto Semiconductors the first LED manufacturer with LED high bay lighting chip production facilities both in Europe and Asia and puts the company in a good position to continue its leadership in the LED industry. It will also enable the company to take on this fast growing market.
