Deep UV LEDs have Highest Output Power
Dowa announces 90mW LEDs with a peak wavelength of 310 nm for resin curing and medical applications
Dowa Electronics Materials has successfully developed a deep ultraviolet LED chip, which it says feature the world's highest output power of 90mW, with a peak wavelength of 310 nm, and dimensions of 1 mm à— 1 mm.
Deep ultraviolet lights with a wavelength of 310 nm are used for curing and skin therapy. Replacing conventional mercury and excimer lamps with these LEDs enables equipment to be smaller and mercury-free. With the advantages of long life time and power saving, this product is expected to find new applications.
Combining a high-quality AlN template with unique crystal growth technology, Dowa has been prepared for a mass production for deep ultraviolet LED chips, which boast the world's highest output power in the disinfection wavelength of 280 nm.
For the wavelength of 310 nm, combining this technology and the fine-structured sapphire substrate developed by Oji Holdings Corporation, Dowa proceeded to improve luminous efficiency, enabling a 20 percent higher output power compared to current products, resulting in an output power of 90 mW, the highest in the world for the wavelength of 310 nm.
It will begin to mass-produce the newly developed deep ultraviolet LEDs with the wavelength of 310 nm in April 2018.
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
