Riber S.A. of Bezons, France, which manufactures molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) systems as well as evaporation sources and effusion cells, has sold two Compact 21 MBE systems to Vienna University of Technology for its material research laboratory.
The firm says that its Compact 21 3‘’-wafer systems are designed for research on compound semiconductors for microelectronics or optoelectronics applications. It adds that MBE growth technology was chosen in this case as such a platform is optimal when the highest-performance, most complex semiconductor heterostructures are needed.
The two new systems will enable Vienna University of Technology to increase his research capacities for new III-V and metal-based structures. To extend its research capabilities and to grow ‘incompatible’ material structures, the two MBE systems are connected together to maintain a full ultrahigh-vacuum (UHV) environment throughout MBE processing.
