VG Semicon Receives Two MBE System Orders for the Large-Scale Manufacturing of Fiber Optic Telecommunications Devices

Franklin, MA. Thermo Instruments Corporation (ASE-THI) announced that its VG Semicon subsidiary has received orders from Alcatel Optronics (Nozay, France) for two of their model V100 Molecular Beam Epitaxy Systems. These systems are slated for delivery in the third and fourth quarters of 2000.

"We are very pleased that Alcatel have chosen our V100 MBE systems for this important project," said David Williams, Managing Director of VG Semicon, "While MBE has historically dominated the production of devices for wireless communication, these systems will be used to make laser diodes for fiber optic telecommunication applications. This is further confirmation of the rapid expansion of MBE technology into areas more traditionally seen as using MOCVD."

Alcatel is one of the world s leading suppliers of optoelectronic components for fiber optic telecommunication systems. As part of their Optronics 2000 Program, they are expanding their manufacturing capacity by a factor of six and simultaneously enlarging their product portfolio. A key feature of this program is to significantly increase their capacity to produce lasers for DWDM, CATV and related communications applications. These state-of-the-art production MBE systems will significantly enhance their production capacity to address this burgeoning market.
