About TurboDisc EPIK 700 GaN MOCVD SYSTEM
Veeco’s new breakthrough EPIK 700 MOCVD system is the LED industry’s highest productivity MOCVD system that reduces cost per wafer by up to 20 percent compared to previous generations. Available in one-and two-reactor configurations, EPIK 700 features breakthrough technologies including the new IsoFlange™ and TruHeat™ technologies that provide homogeneous laminar flow and uniform temperature profile across the entire wafer carrier. These technological innovations produce wavelength uniformity to drive higher yields in a tighter bin. EPIK 700 offers a 2.5x throughput advantage over other systems due to its large reactor size. Designed for mass production, EPIK 700 accommodates 31×4”, 12×6” and 6×8” wafer carrier sizes. Customers can easily transfer processes from existing TurboDisc systems to the new EPIK 700 MOCVD platform for quick-start production of high quality LEDs. Because of the flexible EPIK 700 MOCVD platform, more upgrades, added benefits and future enhancements will continue to differentiate this world-class system.
