MOCVD, GaN and China

IMS Research have produced an interesting report on the 2011 GaN MOCVD equipment market. The highlights of the report enforce the dominant position of China in this market. For example: China is expected in 2011 to account for 820 tools (75% of the market) with China's Q4 2011 installations alone expected to be larger than the entire worldwide 2009 market. 23 different companies will install tools in China, Veeco being the major supplier.
