“We are currently improving our chip processing at an 8-inch wafer fab in Toshiba. However, we will not disclose specific yield figures,†said Jason Posselt, vice president of marketing at Purui Optoelectronics, for Gaogong LED.
A month later, Purui Optoelectronics announced that it has successfully developed an 8-inch silicon substrate LED with Toshiba. According to the news, the GaN grown on an 8-inch silicon substrate has a size of 1.1 mm. The chip consumes 614mW at a voltage of no more than 3.1V and a current of 350mA.
However, Puri Optoelectronics at this time may not be easy.
On the one hand, the company's original sapphire substrate chip business is facing huge market competition pressure; on the other hand, the silicon substrate chip business is still in the stage of R&D and trial production, and it still needs a lot of capital investment and unpredictable market risk.
According to public sources, Puri’s sales in 2010 reached $3,500, and Jason Posselt said in an interview that Puri’s revenue in 2011 was twice that of 2010.
But industry insiders have questioned this data: "If there are so many, Puri Optoelectronics can already go public, instead of being so short of money."
The company's business is around
Formerly known as Ico Optoelectronics Co., Ltd., Puri Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California (later moved to Livermore), is a provider and manufacture of LED lighting technology and solutions. Business. While working on LED chips based on sapphire substrates, there are also research and development involving MOCVD equipment.
But LED upstream has always been a field with a high capital threshold. In 2007, Puri Optoelectronics began to fall into a tight situation. To make matters worse, it is also caught in a patent dispute with CREE. CREE accused it of infringing two patents of CREE US Patent Nos. 6657236 and 5686738. After a two-year patent war, the final infringement case ended with a settlement, CREE authorized the infringing patent of the infringement lawsuit to BridgeLux, and BridgeLux agreed to pay the premium.
According to insiders, the reason for the final settlement of the patent lawsuit was that Purui Optoelectronics hired the then executive vice president of marketing at Lumileds, Mark Swoboda (CREE chairman and CEO-Chuck Swoboda's brother) as the CEO, to ease the relationship. This has solved the dispute.
The foreign media described the two brothers in this way. They took a similar path: after obtaining an electrical engineering major at Marquette University, they worked at HP (HPQ). In the past few years, they were trained as LED industry. The base exists. (Mark said that he first went to HP, then helped his younger brother, let him also come here.) Both brothers have said that the companies in which the two companies are located are not really competing with each other. "I have no products that can fall into his lineup. He doesn't have it," Mark said. "At least for now."
Therefore, is family gathering mainly based on the work of the Bank? Chuck said: "Our brothers get along and don't talk about LEDs." In short, the addition of Mark Swoboda also brought $23 million in financing for Purui Optoelectronics.
“Puri Opto's current round of financing can really push the company into a specific application area, and the end result will be a true partnership, rather than a more common supplier-type relationship,†Mark Swoboda told reporters.
In April 2008, Purui Optoelectronics announced that the company has completed the latest round of financing worth about 40 million US dollars, including private equity investment of 30 million US dollars, bank credit loans of about 10 million US dollars. At the same time, the company announced an adjustment strategy to retreat the already scheduled MOCVD machine and shift its focus to the packaging field.
In 2009, as the LED chip industry began to receive the attention of industry investors, especially the high-quality chips on the market at that time became “fantastic goodsâ€.
Therefore, Purui Optoelectronics once again denied the previous strategy, and invited former CEO of Séagat eT echnology, Willi am D. Watkins, as the new CEO. This time, Purui Optoelectronics re-entered the chip field.
According to the SEC report, the total fundraising of Purui Optoelectronics has reached 200 million US dollars.
