New TurboDisc EPIK 868 MOCVD system surpasses EPIK 700 as the most productive and cost effective tool in the industry
Veeco Instruments Inc. (나스닥: VECO) announced today that it has shipped multiple TurboDisc® EPIK® 868 Gallium Nitride (GaN) Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) systems to several leading Chinese LED manufacturers for the production of light emitting diodes (LEDs) for solid state lighting applications.
Compared to previous generations, the EPIK 868 MOCVD system enables cost per wafer savings of more than 20% with a combined advantage of best operating uptime, low maintenance costs and best-in-class wafer uniformity. In addition, the system’s compact architecture has the industry’s best footprint efficiency for high volume LED production.
“The introduction of the lower-cost and higher-productivity EPIK 868 to the China LED market clearly demonstrates Veeco’s long term commitment to this important region,” commented William J. Miller, Ph.D., President, Veeco. “With the EPIK 868, our Chinese customers can continue to take advantage of Veeco’s leading edge technology development and world-class service offerings at a significantly lower cost of ownership.”
Based on Veeco’s proven TurboDisc technology, the newly developed EPIK 868 MOCVD system offers customers a four-reactor platform for the highest productivity and a 35% footprint reduction compared to the competition. Furthermore, the wafer carrier capacity can be increased for even greater throughput per batch.
“The EPIK 868 is built upon a production proven TurboDisc platform with over one-thousand chambers installed worldwide providing the highest operating stability and efficiency for our customers,” added Peo Hansson, Ph.D., Senior Vice President and General Manager, Veeco MOCVD Operations. “Not only will the new EPIK 868 system improve our customers’ productivity and cost of ownership, but it will also provide a highly reliable, leading edge production tool from the MOCVD technology world leader.”
About TurboDisc EPIK 868 GaN MOCVD SYSTEM
Veeco’s new EPIK 868 MOCVD system is the LED industry’s highest productivity MOCVD system that reduces cost per wafer more than 20% compared to previous generations. Available in a four-reactor configuration, EPIK 868 features breakthrough technologies including the proprietary IsoFlange™ and TruHeat™ technologies that provide homogeneous laminar flow and uniform temperature profile across the entire wafer carrier. 이러한 기술적 혁신은 파장 균일성을 가능하게 하여 더 좁은 빈에서 좋은 수율을 얻을 수 있습니다. The EPIK 868 system will offer a 2.3x throughput advantage over the EPIK 700 system due to its 4-chamber configuration and the ability to increase wafer carrier capacity. 고객은 쉽게 기존 TurboDisc 시스템에서 새로운 EPIK 868 MOCVD 플랫폼으로 공정을 이송하여 고품질 LED를 빠르게 생산할 수 있습니다.
