EMF Expands Metalorganic Capacity, Sells Reactors
EMF (Cambridge, UK) has installed the world s largest gas chromatography (GC) system for the production of group III metalorganic precursors. The patented GC technology, purchased from Eagle Picher for $3 million, allows the separation of the precursor chemicals from impurities during the production process. "The GC plant increases our metalorganic production capacity to over 2000 kg per year," says Jim Dixon, EMF s sales and marketing director. "We are responding to increased demand for our DEOX grade products." These are high purity trimethylaluminum (TMA), trimethylgallium (TMG) and trimethylindium (TMI). "In applications such as the growth of VCSELs and GaN LEDs, high purity precursors with ultra-low oxygen content are critical," adds Dixon.
EMF has also received an order from Northrop Grumman for two MOCVD reactors for the growth of SiC and GaN. Both systems will be delivered and installed by the third quarter of 2000.
