May 4, 2012 - BUSINESS WIRE -- Sapphire wafers grown using ARC Energy’s Controlled Heat Extraction System (CHES) furnaces for Trinity Material was certified for high-quality light-emitting diode (LED) chip production at two leading LED chip companies.
Trinity Material is ramping up for high-volume sapphire growth to produce large-diameter LED wafers, using ARC Energy furnaces. Trinity Material uses CHES furnaces to produce sapphire for 4” to 8” sapphire wafers.
ARC Energy’s CHES sapphire boule growth method uses the c-axis, instead of growing the boule on the a-axis and extracting wafers on the c-axis. CHES-produced sapphire wafers tested equal to or better than a-axis wafers in LED chip qualification. The company reports no color problems at the boule or wafer levels. CHES c-axis growth increases the light output of LED chips, said Champion Yi, chief operating officer for Trinity Material.
ARC Energy’s proprietary and fully automated CHES technology produces c-axis boules that are reportedly the optimum orientation for LED applications and enable higher materials utilization and lower costs compared with conventional a-axis technologies.
Trinity Material Co., Ltd. is a high-tech company specializing in research, production and sales of LED-grade sapphire substrate material. For additional information about Trinity Material, please visit www.trinity-material.com
The Advanced RenewableEnergy Company, LLC (ARC Energy) provides highly automated and efficient sapphire crystal growth and processing systems to supply LED wafers. For additional information about ARC Energy, please visit www.arc-energy.com.
