Domestic MOCVD market access to the need to break through what Hom?

As the core of the production of LED chip production equipment, MOCVD equipment localization has been the focus of attention of the LED industry. In recent years, the steady development of the LED industry, as well as the continuous improvement of the level of technology and steady growth in the demand for the localization of MOCVD equipment to provide a good industrial environment. So, the domestic MOCVD can break through the existing foreign technology patents, and can win market recognition?

Intellectual property: technological innovation to win the initiative

As everyone knows, the United States and Germany is the mainstream MOCVD, American Veeco and German Aixtron almost monopolized 90% of the market, how to break foreign technical barriers, to seize the market become a problem in front China MOCVD enterprises. Sheng Photoelectric Equipment (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. chairman and chief executive officer Chen Aihua said: "rely on price war to grab the market, will lose everything. Localization breakthrough only by innovation, by bringing more value to customers. Veeco and Aixtron from the market point of view, in 2009, Aixtron has 68% of the market, while Veeco is only $22%, but last year, Veeco to achieve a market share of 65% counter attack". It is understood that at the technical level, Veeco from the large-scale automation of the production of MOCVD equipment and methods of mass production to meet the epitaxial chip, and achieve automatic continuous production, not only improves the stability and reliability of the chip is made, but also greatly reduce the dependence on technical personnel.

At present, the core technology of MOCVD Veeco and Aixtron are still held in the hands, and a rising star in Japan Sanso also holds part of the core patent technology, facing the increasingly serious dispute, Chen Aihua thinks, must break like Veeco Aixtron, to win the initiative for technological innovation. We consider more is how to improve the technology to reduce the cost of single chip extension, such as lifting equipment automation performance, reduce raw material consumption, etc.. Sheng Photoelectric Equipment (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. vice president Zhang Wei also stressed the importance of technological innovation, he believes that products and technology must be strong enough to meet the needs of the development of the industry. Dr. Zhang Wei analyzed the key performance requirements of MOCVD's large-scale epitaxial production, including automated loading and unloading and continuous extension technology to improve the automation of equipment operation to reduce dependence on technical personnel. Zhang Wei introduction: MOCVD technology helps to reduce costs to improve profits. To reduce the cost of monolithic epitaxial is bound to increase profits, the extension of production to improve the uniformity of epitaxial films; and improve the output efficiency and reduce power consumption, epitaxial materials, equipment and consumables costs, provide high performance equipment platform for customers. "Hao Tian, chairman and general manager of Guizhou Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd. Dr. quarter believes that enterprises should use the funds on the blade, starting from the technology, must not be quick success. "I want to see is that one day we are not blindly imitating foreign achievements, but we have new things out, others follow us to do, we should dare to and foreign patent battle, and hit the patent war in the process and constantly improve themselves, I feel that when we made to is a success. The theory of seasonal swimming.

Market acceptance: equipment growth can not be separated from the industrial soil

It is understood that in the last year, Sheng Photoelectric released the first MOCVD equipment, and in June this year, was accepted by the customer. And in March this year, and China can sign a contract, in November shipments. Signed third sales contracts with Renault in July. We have broken through the difficult times, has a certain market. Chen Aihua said. But he believes that the domestic MOCVD to open the market, the government still needs to provide a certain degree of support. When customers buy domestic equipment, the policy should be guided, but to moderate, if more than a certain amount, it will disrupt the market, but the resistance. "

Ji Ankuan believes that the market acceptance not only rely on the government to promote the more customer participation needs: the development of a prototype of MOCVD, takes two to three years, but this is only the completion of the 20%-30%, we need to continuously improve according to customer demand. The growth of equipment can not be separated from the industrial soil, so the healthy development of the entire LED industry chain. "Zhang Wei believes that the critical moment of breakthrough in the market this year and next year, domestic MOCVD must have a sufficient amount of popularity and acceptance of the market, a certain initial momentum, can be accompanied by the rapid development of LED industry next year, to get survival and development at the same time in the enterprise, realize the strategic target localization, and promote Chinese LED industry and the semiconductor lighting industry sustained and healthy development.

Indeed, MOCVD from the R & D to trial production and market acceptance of a long cycle, large investment, high cost, and therefore the need for comprehensive support and acceptance of the industry. Support and participation of all sectors of the industry chain, is conducive to the development of domestic equipment in the share of responsibility and the overall quality and level of improvement, thus laying the localization of equipment for a long time and solid foundation. The final result of the MOCVD equipment is checked by the customer, so it is very important for the customer to support and participate. For at the initial stage of the domestic MOCVD, customer participation from research to production evaluation of the key link, is conducive to domestic equipment and solve customer and market demand, thereby reducing the economic cost of manpower and time of product development, to promote the equipment market acceptance

Talent: effectively set up a team with R & D strength

Domestic MOCVD to break the foreign patent barriers, it is necessary to achieve technological innovation, the necessary conditions for technological innovation, namely the establishment of R & D group
