Until recently, the LED market developed primarily for cellular phones and LCD back lights. Today the market is expanding to LED light bulbs. The LED market is expected to grow when LED bulbs become widely used.

SAMCO’s thin film technology is our core technology, and forms the basis of our CVD, dry etching, and dry cleaning systems for the optoelectronics and electronic component markets. We released MO-CVD system in May 2008. SAMCO’s systems play important roles in the LED manufacturing process. Now, we present our “One-Stop Solution” for the LED manufacturing process.

SAMCO received orders for two cassette-to-cassette ICP etching systems, Model RIE-230iPC from a large LED manufacturing company in Taiwan.

SAMCO installed a PD-220NL system at West Bohemia University in Czech Republic as well as a table-top RIE system in The Netherlands at well-known forensics laboratory.

Samco’s President (Mr. Osamu Tsuji) and the Director of US Operations (Mr. Peter Wood) visited MIT and the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials (PRISM) at Princeton University in November 2008 to further strengthen mutual technical collaborations.
