Set up to exploit GAN LEDs on 6 inch Silicon.
CamGaN develops new high-brightness LED technologies.
CamGaN was formed in 2010 to commercialise a novel technology (GaN LEDs on large-area (150 mm diameter) silicon) for the cost-effective manufacture of key components of high-brightness LEDs. This novel technology holds strong potential to dramatically reduce the cost of solid-state lighting devices that are rapidly replacing incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs. Plessey acquired CamGaN in 2012. In 2014 they manufactured over 2 million LEDS based on this technology. Recently they have raised £60m to expand production capacity and this will employ 400 more people in Plymouth. The widespread use of LED lighting in the UK will save 10% of all our electricity used and 10% of carbon emissions from power stations. We are continuing to develop this work on current EPSRC grants.
