Asia Distributors Appointed for H2 Analyzers

P+E Asia Distributors

Labcare Scientific Group and AccuDEVICE Named New Asia Distributors for Power+Energy’s HEMS Technology

P+E HEMS hydrogen (H2) quality analyzers detect trace contaminants, alert operators at compound semiconductor fabs in Taiwan and China

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

December 28, 2013, Ivyland, PA – Asia Distributors Appointed for H2 Analyzers – Power & Energy, Inc. (P+E), a manufacturer of new, highly-sensitive hydrogen gas impurity analyzers, is pleased to announce the establishment of sales alliances with two distributors for Asia, Labcare Scientific Group in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau SAR and AccuDEVICE Co., Ltd. in Taiwan.

Both distributors will introduce the new HEMS™ analyzers to fabricators of compound semiconductors for light emitting diodes (LEDs), laser diodes and other high-performance power semiconductors. The HEMS™-M hydrogen analyzer is a full-spectrum analyzer capable of rapidly measuring parts-per-billion (ppb) levels of all contaminant species that reduce product quality and yields. Integrated into the plants’ hydrogen feed lines and continuously sampling the gas, the HEMS™ instrument automatically detects and measures impurities that reduce product quality and yield and thus can significantly increase tool up-time.

Both companies will focus HEMS™ hydrogen analyzer sales efforts to compound semiconductor manufacturers that use MOCVD epitaxy processes to grow layers of semiconductor. These processes require ultra-pure hydrogen with sub parts-per-billion (ppb) levels of oxygen, moisture, hydrocarbons and other contaminants which adversely affect the optoelectronic properties of the fabricated semiconductor. Knowing the specific species and their respective concentration enables the fab operators to manage the problems early, before the damage is substantive and there is major productivity loss.

Labcare Scientific Group is Mainland China’s distribution leader in mass spectrometry related equipment and solution Labcare Scientific Group - One of P+E's Asia Distributorsfor laboratory gas and industrial gas applications. With a team of in-house analysis experts and sales representatives and a lineup of complimentary products such as hydrogen generators, Labcare Scientific is well-positioned to understand and sell HEMS™ analyzers in the China market.

AccuDEVICE Co, Limited is Taiwan’s leading provider of ultra-high-purity gas purification equipment, gas analysis equipment, detectors and specialty gas AccuDevice - One of P+E's Asia Distributorssupply systems. The company offers expert solution sales and maintenance services to semiconductor manufacturers in Taiwan and to Taiwanese companies operating in China. AccuDEVICE Company currently represents lines of equipment that are complimentary to P+E’s full-spectrum hydrogen analyzers.

According to David Kepniss, Director of Sales and Marketing for Power+Energy, “Both Labcare Scientific Group and AccuDEVICE are strategic additions to P+E’s global network of sales and service providers for our analyzer instruments. These companies are regarded as product and market experts in their respective geographies. Contact them if you want to have an opportunity to test and evaluate HEMS for your use.”
