Which laser architectures will deliver the best bang-per-buck? Will microLEDs find a killer application in data transfer for data centres? And what are the biggest opportunities for deep-UV LEDs?
Mercury-vapour lamps have long been the standard light source for industrial UV curing, but high energy consumption, heat output, limited lifetimes and tightening restrictions on mercury are pushing manufacturers towards solid-state alternatives. UV LEDs offer instant switching, narrow emission spectra, lower operating temperatures and far longer lifetimes, yet wider adoption depends on delivering the power density, efficiency and reliability production lines demand at a competitive cost. This presentation traces the development of our UV LED, from chip design through to packaging and thermal management, and reports on its output power, efficiency and lifetime. It then assesses the curing opportunity across printing, coatings, adhesives and electronics assembly, considering where LEDs are already displacing lamps and where barriers remain, before explaining how we are positioning our devices to address these markets and accelerate adoption.
Which novel ideas are opening up new, lucrative markets? And where’s our industry delivering a step-change in device performance, to create must-have products?
Artificial intelligence promises to transform semiconductor manufacturing, but where is the value today? This talk presents case studies from deploying an AI-native LabOS across MBE systems at PDI Berlin, demonstrating system interoperability, accelerated lab-to-fab transfer, €150k per-system annual OPEX savings, and a three-month reduction in trial-and-error during materials development. The speaker shows how integrating equipment control, metrology, process data, automation and AI into a common platform changes the economics of materials growth, closing with current results in closed-loop experimentation, where AI moves beyond in-situ analysis to actively participate in how materials are grown.
