Government ordered LED equipment South Korea MOCVD equipment gradually become

In view of the considerable demand for MOCVD equipment in South Korea, the Korean government has relied on the current status of importing as soon as possible and has promoted the LED equipment self-development plan since the second half of 2009. It is scheduled to invest 50 billion won in the three years from 2010 to 2012. US$45 million) R&D funding to promote the production of MOCVD equipment, the introduction of process automation systems, and the development of high-speed packaging/inspection equipment.

Samsung LED (Samsung LED), LG Innotek and other South Korean LED factories have been actively expanding the production capacity of metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) equipment since 2009, but now they are still mainly to Aixtron and American company Veeco. The purchase of MOCVD equipment highlights the fact that the total number of Korean MOCVD equipment depends on overseas imports.

Due to the expansion of MOCVD equipment purchased by LED factories in Taiwan, Korea, and the Mainland from 2009 to 2010, MOCVD equipment manufacturers such as Aixtron and Veeco have actively increased their production capacity. It is expected that the global demand for MOCVD equipment in 2010 will be around 800 units. In 2010, Korea will account for about one-fourth of the global demand for MOCVD equipment.

In view of the considerable demand for MOCVD equipment in South Korea, the Korean government has relied on the import status for its early release and has promoted the LED equipment self-development plan since the second half of 2009, and plans to invest 50 billion won in the three years from 2010 to 2012 ( About US$45 million) R&D funding is used to promote the production of MOCVD equipment, introduce process automation systems, and develop high-speed packaging/inspection equipment.

Hansung Engineering (Jusung Engineering) is a leading company in Korea's self-made MOCVD equipment program. Its equipment was completed in June 2010, and Korean plant Top Engineering also completed MOCVD equipment in June 2010. Development, along with South Korea's accumulation of semiconductor/LCD equipment, has accelerated the pace of the layout of LED core equipment, and it has also shown that it has achieved results in the development of MOCVD equipment.
