integrated micro-structure technologies for high-brightness LEDs

He will lead a session discussing the challenges faced by the lighting industry and provides his view on the LED technologies in the future, as well as the importance of the Open innovation approach.According to Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute, it has made a partnership with Oxford Instruments PLC, a U.K.-based high-tech tool systems company, to set up a research center for LED, which will focus on wafer-level packaging processes and integrated micro-structure technologies for high-brightness LEDs.ITRI President Shyu Jyuo-min pointed out that “With Taiwan’s most advanced Microelectromechanical Systems Open lab, ITRI will provide the best research and development capability in the field of LED packaging.”

For Oxford Instruments, its CEO Jonathan Flint said ITRI’s research capabilities in LED will benefit the company’s customer base in the Asia-Pacific. In addition, the company is also looking for business partnership with Taiwan LED Linear high bay light firms.It claims that its process is the first that is capable of direct insertion into existing LED and power device production processes that grow GaN and related alloys such as InGaN and AlGaN.

The new AlN template tool was designed and constructed by chief engineer Dr Bob Metzger, and it was incorporates many of the features of, as well as improvements to, Kyma’s patented and proprietary led high bay light Physical Vapor Deposition of NanoColumns (PVDNC) technology.Additionally, the company also plans to demonstrate large-diameter AlN templates on sapphire and to release the new AlN template tool for full production in the coming weeks.According to Steve Barlow, EVP of Sales and Marketing at Philips Lumileds. “We are well beyond demo and prototype bulbs not only for 60-Watt equivalents but also for MR16s, PAR lamps, GU10, and other form factors that are widely used. Our sights are now set clearly on enabling replacements for 75-watt equivalent bulbs.”
