Chinese MOCVD Equipment Manufacturers to Challenge Top Foreign Brands

U.S. manufacturer Veeco and German company Aixtron that have long possessed China’s LED epitaxal wafer MOCVD market, will be facing “war declarations” issued by Chinese manufacturers, according to a report by Chinese newspaper The National Business Daily. 

HC Semitek announced on Nov. 12, 2013, that the company’s “Domestic MOCVD equipment R&D/ industrialization of ultra bright LED” application was authorized by Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), and received RMB 6 Million (US$ 990,000) to purchase related equipment and materials.

This project is being implemented by Jiangsu Huasheng Tianlong Photoeletric Co.,Ltd. subsidiary Tang Optoelectronics Equipment (Shanghai) Corporation Limited (TOPEC). China’s top MOCVD equipments are just as good as international giants Veeco and Cree, said Zhang Wei, Vice President of TOPEC. He went on asking the industry to give trust Chinese manufacturers a bit more and give more opportunities.
