Konka Adopts AIXTRON Tools for Micro LED Pilot Production

AIXTRON announced that Konka Group has ordered multiple AIX G5+ C and AIX 2800G4-TM MOCVD systems to build its own volume production of GaN-based (gallium nitride) and AsP-based (Arsenide-Phosphide) Mini- and Micro LEDs.

Konka, which recently announced its plans to enter the North American consumer electronics market in 2020, established its Micro LED initiative as a joint venture with Chongqing Liangshan Industrial Investment. The company also increase an investment of over US$210 million for Micro LED development.

Most recently, the Chinese electronics manufacturer has launched its "Smart Wall" Micro LED TV. Konka exhibited a 118-inch 4K and a 234-inch Micro LED displays at CES 2020.

Dr. Allen Tsai, General Manager and CEO at Chongqing Konka Optoelectronics Technology Research Institute, explained, "AIXTRONs market-leading fully automated MOCVD tools AIX G5+ C and AIX 2800G4-TM perfectly meet our tightened wavelength uniformity requirements for Micro LED manufacturing. The advanced Planetary(R) technology stands out due to excellent wavelength uniformity, high yield and efficient high-volume manufacturing at lowest cost per wafer. Besides our commercial market entry for Micro LED applications, Chongqing Konka and Micro Crystal Transfer Group will develop new technologies and applications based on GaN materials."

"Following the recent qualification of our AIX G5+ C tool for Micro LED production means another step forward in the commercialization of our system technology for Micro LED manufacturing. We are pleased that Konka acknowledges our performance contribution for Micro LED production and are looking forward to the further cooperation with Konka. AIXTRON will continue to support the joint effort between Chongqing KONKA and Micro Crystal Transfer Group for their development of new technologies and applications based on GaN materials," said Dr. Bernd Schulte, President of AIXTRON.
