UNIROYAL Optoelectronics is focused on High Brightness Light Emitting Diode (LED)Compound Semiconductors: their quantum physics, composition, die design, high volume processing, characterization, testing and corresponding sale of high quality Epitaxial and Die derivatives.

UNIROYAL Optoelectronics has assembled world class internal research & development (IR&D), production Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) epitaxial foundry, semiconductor device fabrication, LED die processing and testing facilities and personnel within the Florida High-Tech Corridor. UNIROYAL Optoelectronics 77,000 square foot facility is designed and equipped with state-of-the-art automated factory management and LED processing capabilities.This enables world competitive product results incorporating the latest technologies allowing UNIROYAL Optoelectronics to be the industry ’s low-cost, high quality supplier of choice for High Brightness LEDs.

The company’s POWER-Ga(i)N™ InGaN/Al2O3 high-power technology, provides the best in Visible (from 450 thru 525 nm) and UltraViolet (365 thru 430 nm) high performance LED solutions, while the UOE POWER-BR(ite)™ AlInGaP/GaAs technology fills out the color spectrum (from 590 thru 636 nm) with leading-edge HB-LED product results. A full range of Package-Ready-Die (PRD)™ testing, characterization and bare die binning, utilizing the company ’s unique LEDProbe™ and LEDSort™ capabilities, complements the products offered with value added services.

Personnel of the UNIROYAL Optoelectronics team encompass many industry recognized experts and scientists experienced in material growth, characterization and device development. UNIROYAL also has active external R&D activities, especially within the University of Florida (Gainesville, Orlando & Tampa) system, including the Materials Science & Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Physics Centers and the Center for Research & Education in Optics & Lasers (CREOL).

Utilizing the company’s extensive knowledge in III-V (Periodic Table of Elements Group III and Group V Compounds) Materials Science and MOCVD Reactor systems, UNIROYAL is producing epitaxial device wafers one atomic layer at a time, into exceptional high volume production full spectrum Visible and Ultra Violet bandwidth LED products. Specifically InGaN on Sapphire and AlInGaP on GaAs devices are produced. These advanced Wide Band Gap LEDs (GaN, EG = 3.4 eV & AlN, EG = 6.2 eV) are produced on the company’s high throughput multi-wafer MOCVD Vertical Rotating Disc (VRD) reactors equipped with real-time in situ characterization, monitoring and control features. A rigorous manufacturing methodology compliments this technology through device fabrication and test.

A complete and unique set of product performance and quality surveillance characterization capability provides detailed structural, optical and electrical analysis and assessment of products produced. Tools include Triple-Axis X-Ray Diffraction, WLS Thickness & Photoluminescence (HeCd & Frequency Doubled YAG) Mapping, Wide Band Gap Electrochemical C-V Profiling, Hall Measurement, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), Electron Beam Induced Current (EBIC) Measurement, Non-Contact Sheet Resistivity Mapping, Electroluminescence Measurement, and Phase Contrast Microscopy. These and other dedicated facilities also serve the Company’s IR&D/R&D activities including New Product &Process Development Engineering.

The Information Technology (IT) activity at UNIROYAL incorporates a variety of activities that support all functions of the company facilitating its operations. Of special note is a factory-wide automated management system that includes Manufacturing Execution System (MESA), SAP Engineering Resource and Materials Resource Planning (ERP, MRP) and other relational databases. This key activity is used extensively by productivity review, sustaining engineering, uality, product planning and development activities.

UNIROYAL TECHNOLOGY is well known for its innovative technologies, manufacturing excellence and the quality of its products. UNIROYAL Optoelectronics has installed an Electronic-Based ISO 9001/9002 System scheduled for certification completion the first quarter of 2001.
