In addition to the application fields of Mini LED, Micro LED, ultraviolet, infrared, and plant lighting, compound semiconductors have also become a major direction for LED companies in their layout.
Since compound semiconductors can be used in communications, military industry, new energy and other fields, it has important strategic significance. In recent years, the country has vigorously supported the semiconductor industry. Coupled with the development of 5G commercialization, new energy vehicles and other emerging applications and the introduction of related policies, the process of localization of compound semiconductors has been accelerated.
LED related companies at home and abroad, such as San'an Optoelectronics, Huacan Optoelectronics, CREE, etc., have begun to lay out the compound semiconductor market very early. Among them, Sanan's layout has many masterpieces.
"3333 billion."
On December 5, 2017, Sanan Optoelectronics announced that the company has signed an Investment Cooperation Agreement with the People's Government of Quanzhou City, Fujian Province and the People's Government of Nan'an City, Fujian Province. The company will invest 33.3 billion yuan in Nan'an District, Quanzhou, Fujian. Yuan is engaged in industrialization projects. All projects will be put into production within five years, and all projects will reach production within seven years. The project specifically includes seven major industrialization projects: high-end gallium nitride LED substrate, epitaxy, chip development and manufacturing industrialization projects; high-end gallium arsenide LED epitaxy, chip development and manufacturing industrialization projects; high-power gallium nitride lasers Research and development and manufacturing industrialization projects; research and development and manufacturing industrialization projects of optical communication devices; research and development and manufacturing industrialization projects of radio frequency and filters; research and development and manufacturing industrialization projects of power semiconductors (power electronics); special substrate materials R & D and manufacturing, special packaging product application R & D and manufacturing industrialization projects.
"12 billion."
On April 25, 2019, Sanan Optoelectronics announced that it would invest 12 billion yuan to invest in III-V compound semiconductor projects within the jurisdiction of the Management Committee of Gedian Economic and Technological Development Zone in Hubei Province. It mainly produces and operates Mini / MicroLED epitaxial and chip products and R & D, production and sales of related applications. On July 29, San'an Gedian Mini / MicroLED display chip industrialization project officially started.
"7 billion."
In November 2019, Sanan Optoelectronics announced that it would raise a total of not more than 7 billion yuan in high-end semiconductors from Changsha Leader Gaoxin and Gree Electric. Among them, the leading high-core subscription 5 billion yuan, Gree Electric subscription 2 billion yuan. The project mainly includes three major business segments of gallium nitride, gallium arsenide, special packaging and public supporting construction; the main products include high-end gallium nitride LED epitaxial chips, high-end gallium arsenide LED epitaxial chips, RS red light / infrared products, Mini / MicroLED chips, automotive LED lighting, plant lighting LED chips, high-power lasers, solar cell chips, etc.
Several major works reflect Sanan's confidence in the compound semiconductor market. Earlier, when responding to investor questions, Sanan Optoelectronics stated that the company would consolidate its status as a leading LED company, promote the development of the optoelectronics industry, commit itself to the compound semiconductor integrated circuit business to become a global leader in the industry, and strive to build a semiconductor manufacturer with international competitiveness.
