White LED packaging products come out

Toshiba Corporation announced that the company will start selling white light-emitting diode (LED) packaging products to provide general-purpose and industrial LED lighting solution providers with a cost-competitive product to replace current LED packaging products. Mass production will start this month.

LED chip production is usually done on expensive 2 to 4 inch wafers using expensive sapphire substrates. Toshiba and BridgELux, Inc. A process to fabricate GaN LEDs on 200mm silicon wafers has been developed, and Toshiba has now applied the process to a new discrete device manufacturing plant in northern Japan, the Kaga Toshiba Electronics Corporation. Production line. Mass production of packaged products using new production lines will start this month.

By using Toshiba and Bridgelux's new GaN-on-Si technology to produce LED chips, Toshiba can replace sapphire substrates and produce chips on much more cost-competitive silicon substrates.

Thanks to its low power consumption and long life, white LED lighting has been widely adopted in general lighting, TV backlighting, and other applications. In fiscal year 2011, its global market volume reached 700 billion yen (approximately 8.5 billion U.S. dollars), and is expected to nearly double in 2016 fiscal year, reaching 1.25 trillion yen (about 15.2 billion U.S. dollars).

In the future, Toshiba will strive to promote product development and global sales, and strive to secure 10% of the global market share in the 2016 fiscal year.
