Project partners are Aixtron Ltd. of Cambridge and Bruker U.K. Ltd.'s Nano Surfaces Division of Coventry.

"These improvements are required as part of our move to 200-mm silicon substrates," said Plessey Chief Technology Officer Keith Strickland. "A 200-mm wafer has almost twice the usable area of our existing 150-mm wafers and therefore will almost double the number of LEDs produced for the same relative cost."

The grant was awarded under the Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain Initiative, a funding competition designed to improve the global competitiveness of U.K. advanced manufacturers.
