China LED epitaxial chip plant growth slowed

According to industry sources, Jiangsu is located in the Suzhou area in the construction of a well-known led extension project has been decided to stop the construction, part of the staff of the project has been the company received notice of dismissal and compensation agreement, it is reported that the project most of the staff are from overseas and other companies just hiring soon.

A few months ago, the project attracted hundreds of thousands of MOCVD because of its huge investment and planning has attracted widespread attention in the industry. However, after only a few months, the project was to stop and come to an end.

According to SEMI statistics, at present, China has more than 70 LED epitaxy and chip factory (including under construction), the number has reached the highest in the world. From the beginning of 2009, the growth in the number of China LED epitaxy and chip of new projects quickly, but at the same time, since 2009, more than 10 LED epitaxy and chip project due to various reasons, the claim or start after being stopped, which is why organic structure research that domestic LED epitaxial chip factory has several reasons 80 the. The aborted LED project, can also see the local government competition and the pursuit of the interests of the enterprise shadow. In addition, some have been put into operation LED epitaxial chip factory closed down, was acquired or merged.

There is no doubt that Chinese LED epitaxy and chip production capacity in the next few years that will maintain rapid growth, but the number of LED epitaxy and chip plant growth will be slowing down, and went. A considerable portion of the epitaxial chip factory without any technology, cost advantage of LED will be closed down or acquired.

It is worth noting that China's LED epitaxy and chip boom has been transferred to the more upstream sapphire substrate manufacturing, the first half of 2011, there are more than 10 new Sapphire project was announced or started. However, from the planning capacity, the domestic China sapphire substrate LED manufacturing can not digest so, coupled with foreign manufacturers to expand production capacity of sapphire, sapphire China market competition will be further intensified.
