MOCVD system aims to accelerate solid-state lighting adoption
Based on Veeco’s TurboDisc technology, the EPIK700 MOCVD system lowers manufacturing costs for LEDs for general lighting applications by enabling customers to achieve a cost per wafer savings of up to 20 percent compared to previous generations through improved wafer uniformity, reduced operating expenses, and increased productivity.
The EPIK700 system features a reactor with more than twice the capacity of current generation reactors. The increased volume, combined with productivity advancements within the reactor, results in a 2.5x throughput advantage over previous generation MOCVD systems.
Since the introduction of the TurboDisc K465i GaN MOCVD System in 2010, Veeco has steadily improved its customers’ cost of ownership and claims to be the world’s leading MOCVD equipment supplier. In 2011, Veeco launched the industry’s first multi-reactor MOCVD system, the award-winning TurboDisc MaxBright MOCVD System.
"The EPIK700 is another game-changer for the LED industry," said Jim Jenson, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Veeco MOCVD. "In addition to higher capacity and throughput, the system contains proprietary technologies within the reactor that improve wavelength uniformity and drive higher yields in a tighter bin. By combining the advanced TurboDisc reactor design with excellent uniformity, higher productivity, proven automation, low consumable costs and improved footprint efficiency, we have significantly improved the cost per wafer for our customers."
