LED Cosim+

Evaluate the production cost of LED devices from single chip to complex structures

A TOOL DESIGNED FOR THE LED COMMUNITY 

• Due to their particular manufacturing process (GaN epitaxy, specific packaging…), the cost of LED devices can be difficult to estimate. Components such as regular LED, High Brightness LED or Ultra High Brightness LED involve very different process steps.
• LED Cosim+ is a specific and very flexible tool ready to evaluate the cost of any LED process or component, already used by manufacturers as well as end users.
• With the possibility to store steps and process flows in libraries, this new version dramatically reduces the duration of the cost evaluation.

WHO SHOULD BUY THIS TOOL
LED Cosim+ is able to estimate a cost with different levels of data inputs, allowing it to be used in multiple applications.

• This tool is ideal for strategic marketing executives, process managers and R&D engineers analyzing the economic feasibility of different LED manufacturing approaches.
• LED equipment suppliers can use the tool to know the operating cost of their equipment and to compare with their competitors.
• It is also of great help for purchasing managers who want to understand their supplier’s costs.

MAIN FEATURES
Multiple process flows

• Any LED process flow can be simulated.
• Hierarchical description for multiple dies or processes.
• Simulate cost for a variety of different conditions (region, clean room class, process type, etc).
• Integrated equipment, wafer & materials databases.
• Possibility to store an unlimited number of process steps or process flows in libraries.
• Simulation of up to five simultaneous scenarios allowing the user to run sensitivity analysis and compare results like yield improvement, manufacturing location impact on cost, etc.

Multiple subcontracting operations

• Costs of usually externalized operations can be precisely  evaluated by setting their individual regional and commercial parameters.

No admin privilege is required for setup

• LED Cosim+ is working from a single MS-Excel™ file and an external and sharable data file.
• Requires only basic MS-Excel ™ or MS-Office™ suite (from 2003 to 2010 release)

Results are fully open-format

• You can modify or export final results, and build reports your own style as with any Excel workbook.

Workgroup-compliant, safely

• All the data managed by LED CoSim+ are stored in an external MS-Access™ database file. Data cannot be read from the single Excel file and access rights to the database are needed. Multiple access, data sharing and data integrity are secured.
