Quantum Wafer uses Aixtron to ramp up production
The three reactors will be used to produce gallium nitride chips for use in HB-LEDs
Aixtron SE has a new MOCVD systems order from existing customer Quantum Wafer Inc., China.
The new contract is for three more Aixtron MOCVD units. All systems will be dedicated to the growth of high brightness LED (HB-LED) wafers based on GaN materials.
The order was placed in the fourth quarter of 2011 and delivery will take place during the first quarter of 2012. Aixtron’s local support team will install and commission the new reactors in a state-of-the-art clean-room facility at Quantum Wafer’s factory in China.
“We have been very impressed with the performance of the two 42 x 2" Aixtron G4 MOCVD systems that we purchased in 2011,” Shu Yuan, General Manager of Quantum Wafer, comments. “We therefore wish to add more equipment from Aixtron, as we implement the next step in our strategic plans."
