Samco to distribute VPE`s MOCVD tools
Regions where Samco will distribute the reactors include the Far East and Europe. The systems are used in GaN and solar cell production
Valence Process Equipment (VPE) of Branchburg New Jersey has signed an agreement with Samco Inc., based in Kyoto, Japan, to distribute VPE's MOCVD equipment.
The agreement gives Samco exclusive distribution rights in Japan as well as non-exclusive rights to sell the products in a number of other countries including China, South Korea and Europe.
VPE is a technology company that has developed a novel MOCVD reactor for GaN based semiconductor devices including High Brightness LED's for Solid State Lighting.
�The unique patented design of the VPE system is claimed to reduces consumption of expensive gases and metal-organic precursors by up to 40 percent in comparison with competing products. VPE's initial product was the GaN-500 reactor, announced in 2011, with a current capacity of 59 x 2" or 18 x 4" wafers. VPE has recently released the GaN-550 MOCVD reactor with a capacity of 72 x 2" or 20 x 4" wafers.

Samco is a provider of dry etch and plasma CVD systems to the global Compound Semiconductor Industry.
Recently, Samco has placed a focus on selling next-generation production equipment for GaN power devices that are a cornerstone of "green electronics" and have a large impact on energy efficiency. The addition of MOCVD strengthens Samco's product line-up as MOCVD, plasma-CVD, dry etching and surface treatment systems can be bundled to provide a "one stop solution" for customers involved in GaN semiconductor applications.
As part of the agreement Samco will purchase and install a GaN-550 MOCVD system in its facility in Kyoto for customer demonstrations. Installation is planned for July 2014 and the system will be used to develop novel power device epitaxial structures on large diameter wafers in collaboration with a key customer.
VPE CEO and Founder, Frank Campanale, comments, "We are delighted to embark on this partnership with a highly respected and capable company like Samco. Our MOCVD system complements Samco's existing product range and creates a unique suite of products for the GaN semiconductor community".
