We now have an urgent need to move up to larger wafer diameters

Announced a new order for a CVD reactor from existing customer SemiSouth Laboratories of Starkville, MS, USA. The order is for an AIX 2800G4 WW deposition system in the 10x100 mm and the 6x150 mm configuration which will be used for the production of power silicon carbide (SiC) Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) and Schottky Barrier Diode microelectronic devices.

SemiSouth placed the order in the fourth quarter of 2010 and the system will be delivered in the second quarter of 2011. The local LED Linear high bay light support team will commission the new reactor at the company’s state of the art clean-room facility housed in its Starkville, MS, USA headquarters.

“AIXTRON technology is what we are familiar with after nearly seven years experience with AIXTRON SiC reactors,” says Dr. Jeffrey B. Casady, CTO and Vice President Business Development SemiSouth Laboratories. “We now have an urgent need to move up to larger wafer diameters and increase our capacity for power device production. Therefore, it was an easy selection process for us because this machine provides the world’s largest commercial CVD reactor capacity. Moreover, we will achieve optimum time to market because the led high bay light system is the production-qualified SiC Planetary Reactor? platform. We are assured of the best epitaxial layer quality with excellent homogeneity and the lowest epitaxial defect density giving us maximized device yield.”

LED recessed downlighting options for general lighting in commercial

Cooper Lighting, a division of Cooper Industries plc (NYSE: CBE), has expanded its Halo LED H7 Collection offering additional choices in LED color temperatures and higher lumen options. The 6” LED downlight product line expansion–from the original Halo LED 600 Series–now includes the Halo LED 900 Series and Halo LED 1200 Series, offering a wide and versatile selection of energy-efficient LED recessed downlighting options for general lighting in commercial, retail, institutional and residential applications. Designed for new construction projects or to retrofit existing 6” nominal compatible housings (with an Edison screw base adapter included with the module), the Halo LED H7 Collection features excellent color rendering (80 CRI) and offers the industry’s widest selection of color temperatures (2700K, 3000K, 3500K and 4000K). The superior optical design yields productive beam lumens providing smooth, even illumination, excellent cutoff and extremely low glare. Consuming less than 15W, ...

The challenging combination of ambitious carbon reduction commitments

We continue to experience strong economic headwinds on a global scale, which affect growth going forward. Our Accelerate! program is helping to mitigate some of these pressures, and we have full confidence in our ability to continue improving the operational and financial performance of the company. Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust expect to achieve savings in the region of £21,000 after retrofitting LED lighting in several areas of the building, and payback in some areas is projected to take less than 2 years. The retrofit programme, delivered by advanced LED specialists Light Planet, has also reduced energy consumption by 68% and significantly lowered maintenance demands. The challenging combination of ambitious carbon reduction commitments and increasingly restricted budgets faced by the healthcare sector makes the appeal of energy-efficient lighting solutions stronger than ever. Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust identified LEDs as “a technology th...

Entertainment applications will adopt the new LEDs

The number and breadth of applications that require amber LEDs is tremendous,” said Frank Harder, VP of Product Marketing at Philips Lumileds. “Markets including automotive, entertainment, roadway, signaling, and many others use amber LEDs. With better efficiency and more light output, LUXEON Rebel PC amber makes it that much easier to reduce energy consumption with an environmentally friendly product.lamps to LEDs because they didn’t produce enough light and couldn’t operate effectively at higher temperatures. With the advances provided by LUXEON Rebel PC Amber, yellow traffic signals will be converted, warning lights and beacons on vehicles and obstructions will switch and entertainment applications will adopt the new LEDs. numbers of amber LEDs. With LUXEON Rebel PC Amber, manufacturers will be able to use fewer LEDs and lower other component costs because of the improved light output and particularly the stable color over temperature, something that has been problematic for many ...
