The ThermoGrind project focuses on improving the production of sapphire wafers for light-emitting diodes by developing a system to measure grinding temperature. This innovation aims to enhance process stability and reduce production costs.
The market for discrete light emitting diodes (LEDs) is very fast growing.
Basic materials for white and blue LEDs are wafers of Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Sapphire (Al2O3).
Today European enterprises, most of them SMEs, hold less than 5% of worldwide wafer production due to high production costs compared to the main producers Russia, USA and Japan.The most time consuming and therefore expensive process steps in production of sapphire wafers are lapping and polishing.
This process chain can be si…
