At the end of June,Riber S.A.of Bezons,France,which manufactures molecular beam epitaxy(MBE)systems as well as evaporation sources and effusion cells,completed the sale of a Compact 21 research MBE system to a research institute in Germany.
The system will be devoted to the growth of III-V epitaxial nanostructures for applications in nanoelectronics and photonics,and will significantly increase the institute's applied technology research and development capabilities.
Riber claims that the Compact21 is the world's top-selling research MBE system,with the flexibility to meet the most demanding expectations for applied research on compound semiconductor materials.The firm says that the order will consolidate its position in the German market.
