Plessey order Ace strong CRIUS II-XL reactor for the production of silicon based gallium nitride LED material

Ace strong Limited by Share Ltd today announced that Plessey Semiconductors Ltd to order a new MOCVD system. The order is the first of a series of 7x6 inch Plessey specifications for the CRIUS inch II-XL reactor that can be put into production at any time. These reactors will be used for the production of silicon based gallium nitride (GaN-on-Si) high brightness light emitting diode (LED) chips.

Ace strong local service support team will be before the end of June 2012, Plessey in Plymouth in the UK first-class cleanroom, installation and commissioning of the first reactor.

Plessey Semiconductors coo Barry Dennington said: we are moving steadily toward the goal, will have the ability to produce world-class LED, the introduction of the market demand for low-cost high-performance LED lighting products. February 2012, the successful acquisition of Spin-off Company CamGaN, University of Cambridge, is now working to build a comprehensive business development capability of silicon based gallium nitride technology. In addition, we plan to start early production before the end of the third quarter of 2013, before the full implementation of the production in the second quarter of 2012. "

High brightness LED project and product line director Neil Harper added: "CRIUS II-XL reactor will provide us with the basis of the full production of LED materials. We plan to make use of a 6 inch integrated circuit in Plymouth to produce Plessey's LED brand MAGIC (MAnufactured on GaNICs) on a large area of silicon substrate. Ace's latest CRIUS technology has a number of advantages to meet our requirements, such as the production of gallium nitride epitaxial layer on 6 inch silicon substrate and a 8 inch silicon substrate. In addition, we can also rely on the British factory Ace Inc. and Ace strong Europe provides excellent support service. "

"We are very pleased to announce this order," said Dr. Bernd, Ace's chief operating officer, Schulte. As a reputable brand in the electronics industry, Plessey is committed to accelerate the development of one of the most promising epitaxial technology - silicon nitride technology business development. Solid state lighting industry needs to reduce the cost of LED products, Plessey technology is expected to bring changes in the LED industry. Ace has been fully prepared to help solve the various technical challenges brought by Plessey, look forward to witnessing a new wave of LED market. "

Plessey Semiconductors is a leading enterprise in the development and production of semiconductor products suitable for sensing, measurement and control applications. Products are widely used in communications, medical, national defense, aerospace and automotive fields. Earlier this year, the company announced plans to launch low-cost MAGIC super high brightness LED products in the next six months to replace the incandescent bulb market. The company also plans to develop a series of intelligent lighting products combined with Plessey's unique sensing and control technology.
