Author: LIGHTimes Staff

July 1, 2008... Formosa Advanced Technologies Company to Package and Process LEDs Formosa Advanced Technologies Company (FATC) reported that it will enter into LED chip backend production, according to a Digitimes article. The article indicated that FATC expects the corresponding contribution in revenues from the LED backend production processing will double in a year.

FATC chose to delve into the market for LED wafer grinding, sawing, probing, and sorting. The company said in the article that in light of the volatile memory market that it was in, LED packaging and processing would be a profitable venture. Apparently, the company already has many of the same processing technologies that are needed for LED processing and packaging because LED processing and packaging is similar to DRAM production, the article indicated. Only 2 to 3 percent of the company’s revenues are expected to come from LED processing and packaging in 2008, but the company predicts that revenue will rise to 5 to 10 percent of its total revenues in 2009.
