ARC Energy is committed to providing the marketplace with innovative, highly-automated equipment, and supporting services that increase efficiency and reduce the cost of clean technology. We’re already changing the light emitting diode (LED) market, where our customers are increasing their efficiency and material utilization two to three times by improving the quality of their large diameter sapphire, and reducing their LED production costs. This will lead to increased margins for manufacturers, and lower LED lighting prices for consumers.
ARC technology offers many benefits:
- Unique C-plane growth – only technology to grow large diameter bulk sapphire on the same axis required for LED wafers in mass production
- Efficient material utilization – two to three times existing sapphire technologies
- Highly automated – eliminates the need for deeply experienced labor
- Enables high throughput semiconductor scale manufacturing
- Uniform size crystals and cores simplifies downstream processing
- Consistent high quality
- Turnkey solutions – rapid production volume ramp
- Other technologies require deep technical knowledge to operate
- Highly automated; minimal training required
- Lowest total cost of ownership for manufacturers
- Drives down the cost for producing LEDs
Our complete turnkey solutions enable new entrants in LED sapphire material manufacturing to ramp up to mass production scale very quickly so they can compete effectively in the sapphire LED market. ARC Energy’s turnkey process and equipment solutions range from growing large diameter sapphire (CHES™ Furnace) to coring (ARC-CORE™), handling (ARC-HANDLE™), and inspecting (ARC-INSPECT™).
ARC products combine best-in-class technology with decades of experience and expertise in crystal growth.
