Japanese Research system order for Riber
Riber, the French molecular beam epitaxy company, has received an order for an MBE412 system from a major Japanese electronics equipment manufacturer. The system, ordered at the end of December, will be delivered in 2015.
This latest sale to a leading name from the Japanese electronics industry confirms the market's adoption of the MBE 412, which was released recently by Riber and is one of the market's best performing thin-film deposition systems.
The MBE 412 is a research system designed for highly reliable, low-cost growth of arsenides, phosphides, antimonides, nitride, oxides and silicon germanium films on a single 4-inch wafer.
The machine produces film thickness uniformities of less than one percent and features 12 cell ports symmetrically distributed around the chamber. These ports can be mounted with a range of sources, including effusion cells, crackers, plasma sources, gasinjectors, and electron-beam-heated sources.
Following its acquisition of this machine, the industrial firm will develop optoelectronic devices at the forefront of current technologies.
"This latest order confirms the commercial success of our new ranges of systems. The fact that Riber has been chosen by an internationally renowned industrial firm following a stringent selection process highlights MBE's relevance as a research technology, while further strengthening Riber's leading position in Japan, a country with a particularly well-developed semiconductor industry," commented Frédérick Goutard, chairman of the executive board.
