Artilux, the leader of GeSi (germanium-silicon) photonics technology and pioneer of CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) based SWIR (short-wavelength infrared) optical sensing, imaging and communication, today announced its collaboration with VisEra Technologies (TWSE: 6789) on the latest Metalens technology. The newly unveiled Metalens technology differs from traditional curved lens designs by directly fabricating, on a 12” silicon substrate, fully-planar and high-precision nanostructures for precise control of light waves. By synergizing Artilux&rsquo...

Taiwan LED packaging manufacturer VisEra Technologies is reported to put its manufacturing emphasis on high-power packages dedicated to light bulbs in 2011.  At present, the company produces 2,000 200mm wafers of packages a month, roughly equal to four million packages. In 2010 alone, it shipped as many as 800,000 packages to streetlight makers in the mainland. Based on the bans imposed in 2012 by many economic powers on the energy-hungry incandescent bulbs, the company believes demands for LED light bulbs will begin exploding in the third quarter this year. To captu...

The launch of 8” wafer level silicon-based LED package technology by VisEra Technologies Company is regarded industry wide as the latest breakthrough of high power LED package. Apart from innovative technologies, VisEra also stands at the center of attention due to TSMC’s sub-investment therein.
