According to John Wallace, Editor of LaserFocusWorld, "LEDs as a business are growing rapidly in China, spurring purchase of the high-unit-cost capital equipment needed for LED fabrication. Due to the aggressive expansion plans of some Chinese LED companies, 220 metal-organic chemical-vapor-deposition (MOCVD) gallium nitride (GaN) reactors will be installed in 2015, according to the latest data in the IHS LED Intelligence Service. (MOCVD reactors are used to deposit GaN-based epitaxial films on substrates such as sapphire, silicon, or GaN, providing the LED's light-emitting structure.)"
