Riber reports Multi-Wafer MBE6000 sale
Molecular beam epitaxy machine producer Riber has announced the sale of one of its Multi-Wafer MBE6000 machines.
The company has sold the device to an unnamed buyer, but said that the new system will enable the company to increase their production capacity by more than 1,500 x six-inch pHEMT structures per month.
"This new sale confirms the sound quality of Riber's order backlog at this date, which totalled €11.7 million (£9.9 million), a 92 per cent increase compared to the same period of 2009," the company stated.
Riber recently reported that its first-quarter sales rose by 11 per cent to €2.9 million - compared to €2.6 million in the first quarter of 2009.
This rise was attributed in particular to a 71 per cent increase in services and accessories sales, which counterbalanced an eight and 57 per cent fall in cells/sources and systems sales respectively.
