LED chips
have been ready to go, will become the future of lighting system's core
product. The completion of this new cutting-edge LED key indicator of
chip manufacturing plants include: tens of millions of euros in
investment, 35,000 m² of factory space and more than 220 new
jobs. With the construction phase has been completed, based on 4-inch
wafer of indium gallium nitride (InGaN) semiconductor chip
manufacturing process has also been established, the new plant is
currently being put into daily production. These chips constitute the
blue, green and white LED-based, mainly for architectural and general
lighting, display backlighting and mobile terminal equipment. This LED
chip factory in Penang so far has created about 220 new jobs. Osram
Opto Semiconductors, a total of 4,400 employees worldwide, of which
approximately 2,600 factories in Malaysia. This new chip factory in
Penang and the opening ceremony will be next spring. OSRAM Opto
Semiconductors, Dr. Rüdiger Müller, CEO of German
headquarters said: "While it has just started, but the next few years,
LED market will be substantial growth, it is beyond question.
Therefore, even if such a downturn in the economic environment, we
remained steadfastly continuing to implement our investment and
expansion plans. With Germany and Malaysia, two manufacturing plants,
we have both in quantity and quality to stand the ideal starting point.
Regensburg, now coupled with Penang , has become the world's most
