SEMI and Yole Développement are partnering on a webinar series on HB-LED manufacturing on February 9, March 2, and March 23. See below for more information on these valuable opportunities to expand your business in the long term, transformational trend to solid state lighting and other HB-LED applications.

The SEMI—Yole Développement 3-part webinar series on HB-LED manufacturing will take place on February 9, March 2, and March 23 at 10:00am Pacific (1:00pm Eastern). This seminar series will be among the most comprehensive overviews of LED manufacturing ever presented. The series, HB-LED Manufacturing Growth & Transition: Challenges, Solutions and Opportunities, will cover materials, front end manufacturing and assembly/packaging/test operations in three sessions. This webinar series is an opportunity to learn about the latest technology and manufacturing trends, key challenges in LED cost reduction and productivity challenges, and technology demands.

•    February 9: Substrates & Raw Materials
Status quo?; Sapphire, SiC; Pending crunch?; Indium/Gallium; Trusted friend!; Silicon progress
•    March 2: Front End Manufacturing:
Capacity explosion! Epitaxy; Efficiency gains?; Fixing droop effect; Process evolution?; Patterning, Laser lift-off etc.
•    March 23: Testing, Binning and Packaging
Submount choices?; Si vs. Ceramic; Good results?; Testing & Binning; Collective packaging!; C2W, WLP, WL Optics

The webinars are presented by Philippe Roussel, Ph.D. Yole Développement. He leads the Compound Semiconductors market analysis department and also led the development of the 2008 Yole Développement’s LED Manufacturing Report. Yole Développement is the world leader in the analysis of the microtechnologies and compound semiconductors markets. Yole Développement engages in in-depth analysis of the HB LED market and will issue comprehensive reports on all key aspects of LED manufacturing in 2011.
