Veeco to be Primary MOCVD Provider to Tsinghua Tongfang LED Factory
The Chinese firm placed a large multi-tool order for the TurboDisc K465i in August and the reactors will be housed in a new LED production facility in NanTong.
Beijing-based Tsinghua Tongfang Company has selected Veeco Instruments as its primary supplier of Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) systems.
The tools will be used in the firm’s new light-emitting diode (LED) factory. Veeco booked the initial systems from a large multi-tool purchase order earlier this month.
Wang Lianghai, VP of Tsinghua Tonfang commented, “After thorough evaluation of available MOCVD systems at our Beijing LED R&D site, we selected Veeco as our primary supplier for our new production facility in NanTong which is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year. The TurboDisc K465i MOCVD systems were the clear winner in terms of cost of ownership and productivity. We have an aggressive plan to ramp production of LEDs primarily to address backlighting demand for TVs, and Veeco’s technology, tool performance and customer support best matched our needs.”
Bill Miller, Executive VP and General Manager of Veeco's MOCVD Operations, commented, “Tsinghua Tongfang has put together an exciting new enterprise, moving from the lighting engineering business directly into the manufacture of LEDs. They have solid financial backing and an experienced technology team, and we are pleased to support their production ramp.”
Tsinghua Tongfang is part of Tsinghua Holdings and is a state-owned enterprise headquartered in Beijing, China. The Company was established in 1997 and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange that same year, and is engaged in information technology, energy and environment industries.

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.
Take control with Nel on-site hydrogen generation.
