Tiger Optics announced today that it has developed a new ammonia analyser that refines the detection of moisture to levels down to 2 parts per billion, achieving five times the sensitivity of incumbent technology.
The new ALOHA+ H2O analyser will be available starting January 1, 2014. Just three years ago, Tiger introduced its original ALOHA-H2O analyser for the fast-growing High Brightness Light Emitting Diode (HB-LED) market. With that, Tiger met the industry’s need to detect moisture in ammonia at levels to 10 ppb, as higher concentrations impair the electroluminescent intensity of HB LEDs and diminish process yields. This directly affects profit margins as brightness determines whether an LED finds use in a flat screen TV or is relegated to the nose of a child’s toy.
With the new ALOHA+ H2O, Tiger Optics continues to address the ever more exacting needs of HB-LED makers, tool manufacturers, purifier makers and the gas companies that supply ammonia, the favored source of nitrogen for the production of Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductor wafers, a core component of HB-LEDs.
