BluGlass Limited has announced the commencement of a collaboration with HC SemiTek, a leading Chinese LED chip manufacturer that supplies full-color ultra-high brightness LED products throughout the Chinese market.

BluGlass and HC SemiTek will collaborate to review the RPCVD advantages for green LEDs and will also explore low temperature deposition of Aluminum Nitride (AIN) to use in high brightness LEDs.

The Chinese manufacturer will supply 4 inch wafers to BluGlass to deposit RPCVD films and HC SemiTek will then fabricate the LED devices for testing.

BluGlass is bringing to market a complementary technology for the manufacture of next generation lighting technologies in the multi-billion dollar light emitting diode (LED) market. The technology, called Remote Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition (RPCVD) is a unique low temperature manufacturing platform. By growing critical semiconductor materials at lower temperatures, electronic manufacturers can produce higher performing devices such as LEDs and power electronics at lower cost. BluGlass holds a number of patents in key semiconductor markets including the US, China, Europe and Japan.

BluGlass Managing Director Giles Bourne said “It is fantastic to see the commercial interest building in the RPCVD technology capability. We now have three industry evaluations in place with companies that have respected leadership positions in their respective markets.”

This agreement is expected to take several iterations to demonstrate the performance capability, and will involve BluGlass’ new RPCVD chamber designed to improve the uniformity of the RPCVD deposition.
