Epistar honours Dow with first-ever supplier award
The firm was recognised for its supply of metalorganic precursors used in the manufacture of LEDs and for its exceptional customer support.
Dow Electronic Materials, a business unit of Dow Advanced Materials, has announced that Epistar Corporation, a world leading high brightness LED epiwafer and chip manufacturer, has awarded its first-ever Supplier Award to the Metalorganic Technologies business of Dow Electronic Materials.
As a supplier to Epistar of metalorganic precursors for the manufacture of high brightness LEDs, Dow was recognised for ensuring the supply of precursor materials, improving product quality, providing excellent material and process support for manufacturing, offering superior customer communications and achieving high customer satisfaction.
“Dow has demonstrated itself to be an exceptionally trustworthy partner over the past year that deserves more than an excellent supplier award,” said BJ Lee, Chairman of Epistar, upon presenting the award. “Dow is a key, long-term supplier that we rely on for critical materials and technical service, both now and in the future. We are honoured to recognise Dow’s hard work with our first annual Supplier Award acknowledging its contributions to our strong growth over the past year.”

Exceptionally high-quality materials and precise delivery of metalorganic precursors are essential to building reliable LEDs. Dow Electronic Materials is the leading supplier of precursors to the LED market, including trimethyl gallium (TMGa), which are used to create the electroluminescent films in LED chips through a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process.
In addition to developing and supplying advanced materials for LED manufacturing, Dow Electronic Materials also offers the VAPORSTATION Central Delivery System for bulk delivery of CVD precursors to multiple reactors and other patented delivery technologies for both liquid and solid precursors.
