Bridgelux May Team up with TSMC’s LED Business

Sources inform that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s LED subsidiary, TSMC Solid State Lighting Ltd. , is likely to acquire the GaN-on-Silicon technology recently launched by Bridgelux.

Reportely, Bridgelux CEO Bill Watkins stated that the company would work with a well-known chipmaker on LED manufacturing using the latest technology to pare down cost and increase profit.

Based on the statement, Taiwan’s press media associated the unspecified chipmaker with TSMC.

With Bridgelux’s new technology, LED makers can produce devices that outperform silicon carbine-based LEDs and sapphire-based LEDs and are less expensive relative to the latter two technologies.

According to Bridgelux executives,growing GaN on larger, low-cost silicon wafers that are compatible with modern semiconductor manufacturing can deliver a 75% improvement in cost over current approaches. Cool white LEDs built with the technology showed efficiencies as high as 160 Lm/W at a CCT of 4350K. Warm white LEDs constructed from the GaN on Si chips delivered 125 Lm/W at a color temperature of 2940K and CRI of 80.
