BLUGLASS – New Technology for Manufacturing LEDs
AZoNano’s Cameron Chai speaks to Giles Bourne from Bluglass about their
unique technology that will make LED manufacture significantly cheaper.
Bluglass
is a new Australian company. Giles explains where they came from, the current
status of their technology and why LEDs are the lighting technology of the future.
Bluglass
use a process called Remote Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition, or RPCVD that
differs from most other manufacturers, who use the MOCVD process. Giles tells
us about this process and its advantages.
Using MOCVD to manufacture LEDs requires expensive sapphire substrates,
whereas the BluGlass RPCVD process utilizes cheaper glass substrates. This combines
with other lower cost input materials results in a cost saving of around 50%.
