ARC Energy has developed an innovative sapphire crystal “c-axis” growth technology specifically for LED applications, called CHES™ (Controlled Heat Extraction System). CHES Furnaces enable substrate manufacturers to produce large diameter (4”, 6”, 8”, 10” and larger), LED-quality sapphire for mass production. CHES technology will significantly reduce the cost of LED production, and ultimately the cost of solid state lighting for consumers versus competitive products. ARC Energy is committed to being the leader in technology for the long term.
ARC Energy has recruited the industry’s best talent with deep knowledge and experience in sapphire crystal growth, semiconductor scale equipment design and development, process automation, sales and service. Our team is focused on creating, deploying and supporting solutions that lower our customers’ LED manufacturing cost and improve overall quality and efficiency.
