unique requirements of different customers with great speed

It’s the bilateral cooperation that between Philips and Chengdu has entered a new phase since the two sides signed the LED strategic cooperation agreement last December.Philips will build a fully integrated led lighting Solutions manufacturing site to optimize the allocation of resources including production, warehousing and logistics, etc.The site will help to control production efficiency and quality, increase greatly the responsiveness to clients and shorten the delivery time.It is noteworthy that Philips will focus on providing more customized products to meet unique requirements of different customers with great speed. It will also ensure that Philips can specifically work with Chinese customers to help upgrade their lighting in all segments and applications.

To this end, Philips will organize a professional service team to ensure everything is OK from designing upon a client's request to final product delivery. It is expected that the site will start production in 2013.AIXTRON SE today announced a new MOCVD system order from existing customer Jilin University China. The contract is for one CCS reactor in a 3x2-inch wafer configuration, which will be dedicated to the growth of gallium nitride materials for UV and white LEDs.One of AIXTRON’s local support teams has installed and commissioned the new reactor in a state-of-the-art clean-room facility at Jilin University in Changchun, China.

Zhang of the Jilin University, State Key Laboratory on Integrated Optoelectronics, comments, “We already have experience and a very good understanding of led high bay light systems, and we were particularly impressed with the reactor’s ergonomics and security. The system has set the standard amongst the world's best laboratories, thus we intend to join those ranks. Our intention is to develop exciting new material structures that will lead to greater understanding and to production of gallium nitride materials for UV and white LEDs. This is a challenging task, but we are confident that the combination of the process technology capabilities of the CCS reactor and strong backing from the local AIXTRON support team will enable us to achieve our aims quickly and efficiently.”
