6 Yue 9 news, laser scribing machine system suppliers that in order to increase the substrate size, the use of diamond-tipped tools are too expensive. LED chip maker wants to expand in size from 2 inches to 4 inches, then the diamond device is not the best choice, the laser system manufacturer ESI said.
This equipment manufacturers from Poland that crossed with diamond-tipped machine to produce 2-inch wafers, then, will prevent them to improve efficiency. ESI CEO Nicholas Konidari said that in the large-size applications, ESIs laser marking system more useful, economical and AD7543KR datasheet and efficient.
His recent visit to a Japanese LED manufacturer, was found to increase the wafer size must increase the number of diamond marking machine, but also increase costs. "You will miss opportunities to improve the accuracy of marking, loss of the device improved the space." He said. Laser marking machine is more accurate, to avoid waste, the company said.
LED manufacturing equipment as weak demand, ESI 2009 appeared the first three months of sales decline, but the company said, the situation is improving. Since the 2007 acquisition of the laser wafer dicing machine manufacturers since the New Wave Research, ESI introduced AccuScribe 2112 system, market acceptance is increasing. Acquisition cost of $ 36,000,000.

The system provides 12 / hour production rate has been welcomed by the Asian LED manufacturers. March of this year, ESI announced last September that it delivered to Di source of laser optical systems have been successfully crossed into the GaN wafer production.
The same time, it also offers a number of AccuScribe 2112 system to Di source Brothers "Hangzhou Shilan Ming-core technology", for cutting copper block, carving sapphire, GaAs, and AD7543KR price and SiC wafer, which for color LED. Subsequently, ESI announced a key customer in Taiwan to deliver a fully automated laser marking machine AccuScribe 2150.
In the first quarter of 2009, ESI loss of $ 15,000,000, revenue of $ 18,000,000. Income of $ 70,600,000 over the same period last year, profits $ 3,000,000.
