According to azom.com website reported, recently, electronic materials and manufacturer of solar energy industry Monocrystal announced they have begun mass production of LED manufacturers in the C 8-inch sapphire substrate.
Recently, LED industry and experts are still discussing the use of more than 2-inch sapphire substrate potential, which is around 3-4 inches on the main advantages of the substrate. 6-inch sapphire substrates using the prospect seems a long way, and 8-inch substrate only between the academic discussion. However, at present, the world's leading LED manufacturers have started using 6-inch sapphire substrates to produce LED, which uses 8-inch substrate production platform is more a step forward.
CEO Oleg Kachalov Monocrystal, "said 6-inch sapphire substrate from the first introduction of the market, LED manufacturers spent about 3 years to start development of its LED production platforms, but required 8-inch substrate Time has been greatly reduced. August 2008, Monocrystal company's first 8-inch substrates will be introduced to the MOCVD system manufacturers, in just two years, we have begun to LED manufacturers to produce quality 8-inch C-plane sapphire Substrate for them to use the 8-inch production platform development. "
Monocrystal vice president of sales and marketing director Mikhail Berest single crystal, "said the past two years, Monocrystal the company has research and development of radio frequency integrated circuits supply of 8-inch sapphire substrate, we have large-diameter sapphire substrates in the production area has a vast Experience. We are happy to use our experience to help users of LED lighting so that they can achieve further breakthroughs. "
