Recently, Obducat, the Sweden-based supplier of NanoImprint Lithography (NIL) and Electron Beam Lithography systems, has received an order from Luxtaltek Corporation, a Tawian-based LED maker.
The order is worth 22.5 MSEK ($3.55 million) and concerns one Sindre® 400 system and one Sindre® 60 system, to be used for mass production of photonic crystal LEDs. One Sindre® 60 system will be delivered during September 2008, followed by the Sindre® 400 system by end of Q1, 2009. The fully automated Sindre® 400 will have production capacity of 30 wafers per hour for any wafer size between two and four inches.
Luxtaltek Corporation is a Taiwan-based provider of high brightness LED wafers, photonic crystal LED chips and LED modules. It was founded earlier this year by Taiwanese LED makers Uni-light Touchtek Corp and Taiwan Oasis Technology Corp, and has so far secured more than $10m in funding. Luxtaltek aims to provide photonic-crystal (PhC) LED wafer patterning services and customized PhC LED chips and modules, beginning production of gallium nitride (GaN) based PhC LED wafers in Q4/2008. The firm plans to set up eight production lines with the capacity to process 200,000 PhC LED wafers/month by the end of 2010.
Based on imprint performance and cost efficiency, Obducat has proven to have a superior imprint performance in comparison to other competitors. They select Obducat as our preferred supplier for LED applications. In addition, they are very pleased to get the commitment from Obducat to fully support the Luxtaltek production expansion plan for the next two years.
