Osram Converts Red, Yellow, Orange LED Fabrication Process


 
Regensburg, Germany-based Osram Opto Semiconductors has moved its fabrication of red, orange and yellow light emitting diodes (LEDs) to 6-inch wafers. The German high-tech company is extending the fabrication of all large-wafer LEDs to the indium-gallium-aluminum-phosphide (InGaAlP) material system and expanding its production capacity. The company began switching fabrication of blue LED chips in 2011. The latest switch involves chips for LEDs intended for a wide range of applications.

“The demand for light emitting diodes in red, orange and yellow continues to grow.  We are keeping pace with this demand by being the first manufacturer in the world to switch fabrication to 6-inch wafers, thereby also expanding our capacity,” said CEO Aldo Kamper. “The switch will involve all product families and was initiated at the start of the year.”

The red, yellow and orange chips will be fabricated at the company headquarters in Regensburg, Germany. InGaN chips for blue, green and white LEDs also are produced there as well as in Penang, Malaysia.
