Domestic equipment helps LED chips get rid of dependence

In order to allow the LED lighting industry to achieve leapfrog development in the high-end areas, China must master key manufacturing processes and equipment. As the most critical equipment in the LED chip production process, the core technology of MOCVD has been monopolized by European and American companies for a long time, which seriously restricts the healthy development of China's LED industry. Realizing the localization of large-scale MOCVD equipment and key supporting materials will be a historical turning point for upgrading the technology and innovation capabilities of China's entire LED industry.

Localization of imported equipment is of great significance

Whether it is GaN LED, polysilicon material production and solar photovoltaic cell manufacturing, or the improvement of component technology level can not be separated from independent innovation of key equipment. Without the breakthrough of key equipment, independent innovation has no foundation and can only follow behind others. Therefore, the localization of large-scale imported equipment and spare parts can not only integrate their own unique process technology into the second-innovation equipment, but also reversely develop spare parts with the same function in the case of equipment maintenance and the suspension of production of spare parts. Any innovative idea needs the cooperation of equipment. Only in this way can we make innovations.

The revolutionary impact on the LED industry

For a long time, the lack of "core" in China's LED lighting industry has hindered the development of high-end manufacturing. 90% of the chips rely on imports, and go behind in foreign countries. The living space is getting smaller and smaller. Once domestically produced MOCVD equipment is industrialized, the investment cost of LED chip production will be greatly reduced, which will have a revolutionary impact on the domestic LED industry. Domestic and foreign LED packaging product prices will be greatly reduced. At the same time, we can also make full use of chip decryption technology, and on this basis, the second development of new chips, using domestic MOCVD equipment to produce LED epitaxial wafers with Chinese characteristics.

Localization of equipment and IC decryption experts

Accelerating the promotion of domestically-manufactured equipment and creating a favorable policy environment and ecological environment for on-line application of domestically-made equipment has become an urgent task. In view of the current market environment, there are some excellent domestic companies that have also provided a high-quality technical environment for the promotion of localization of imported equipment and spare parts. The more prominent examples are localization cases such as uniforms, developing machines, and etching machines. At present, the localization equipment is not only narrowing the gap with foreign countries in terms of long-term stability, but also localized after-sales service. Like continuous search and secondary innovation of key spare parts, Dongguan Liansheng Electronics can provide customers with long-term system maintenance and upgrade services. Although there are some problems with localized equipment, there is still a long way to go before we can achieve mass production. We believe that as long as the domestic MOCVD equipment can get the trust and support of the majority of customers, the future of China's LED lighting industry will get better and better.
