Deposition equipment maker Aixtron SE of Herzogenrath, near Aachen, Germany is supplying several more AIX 2800G4-TM cluster metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) systems (for delivery between third-quarter 2018 and first-quarter 2019) to Chinese optoelectronic manufacturer Xiamen Changelight Co Ltd, which is expanding its production capacities for arsenide-phosphide-based red, orange and yellow (ROY) LEDs and solar cells.
All production systems have a wafer configuration of 15x4-inches, enabling maximum yield at the highest quality level. Aixtron claims that, due to the unique production performance and high manufacturing capacity of its automated Planetary Batch Reactor concept, the AIX 2800G4-TM has established itself as a reference system for the production of ROY LEDs in recent years.
“We have been using Aixtron’s equipment technology to manufacture advanced optoelectronic devices for years and therefore have great confidence in the AIX 2800G4-TM,” comments Changelight’s president Jin Zhangyu. “The outstanding performance of the system in terms of wafer homogeneity and efficiency in material consumption combined with maximum flexibility and versatility in production will help us to position Changelight as one of the world’s leading suppliers of ROY LED for fine-pitch, mini-LED and micro-LED applications,” he reckons.
“Aixtron is the largest supplier of MOCVD systems for the production of ROY LEDs and laser diodes worldwide,” says the firm’s president Dr Bernd Schulte. “The strategic partnership with Changelight, the largest customer for gallium arsenide-based MOCVD systems in China, helps us to consolidate and expand our leading market position. We will continue to actively support Changelight with our know-how in the future.”
