will also pay special attention to operational health

AIXTRON delivers key-enabling technologies for innovative and energy-efficient applications. The company has more than 30 years of experience in developing MOCVD production technologies for a wide range of innovative and highly complex semiconductor devices, such as led linear high bay light, lasers, transistors and solar cells. As well as AIXTRON’s focus on best-practice commercial considerations, the new training center in Suzhou, will also pay special attention to operational health and safety issues and to the protection of the environment, by adhering to and promoting German, international and Chinese product-safety and waste-management standards.

The order for two AIX 2600G3 IC reactors, both in a 49x2-inch wafer configuration, and three AIX2800G4 reactors, each in a 60x2-inch wafer configuration, was placed in the first quarter of 2012 and delivery will take place in the second quarter of 2012. One of AIXTRON′s local support teams will install and commission the new reactors in the company’s state of the art cleanrooms in Huaian, China.

Mr. Kai Chen, General Manager of Aucksun Opto, comments, “We are familiar with the very high quality of service and equipment we can expect to receive from AIXTRON, and their MOCVD systems will provide the perfect solution for the development and production of wafer materials for HB LEDs. This is an exciting new venture for us and knowing that we have a world leader like AIXTRON at our side is very reassuring.

AIXTRON equipment features excellent process technology and productivity with high uniformity and ergonomics. The company has a strong presence in China and their local service team will play a key role in assisting our internal efforts as we ramp up production. We shall be returning to led high bay light in the future to help us with our plans for the production of HB-LEDs based on gallium nitride materials.”
