June 25, 2008...Aixtron of Aachen/Germany announced a successful installation and commissioning of an MOCVD system for the production of GaN-based blue-violet lasers at Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (MELCO) of Japan. In other company news, epitaxial wafer producer, Visual Photonics Epitaxy Co. Ltd. (VPEC) of Taiwan ordered an Aixtron system for the production of microelectronic and optical devices. Aixtron says that MELCO began operating its AIX 2600G3 HT system with an 11 x 2-inch configuration for the development and volume production of gallium nitride (GaN) based lasers for high-density optical storage and related applications. Aixtron points out that GaN-based lasers operating over the 390 to 420 nm emission wavelength range are becoming very important commercially.
MELCO commented, “Our previous experience with our existing Aixtron G3 MOCVD tools has confirmed the high quality of the engineering, service and process technology. Those systems have performed very well for the manufacture of AlGaInP-based high-power red lasers. We now look forward to the same high standard of throughput and economics for the new generation of blue-violet lasers.” Aixtron News Release
Aixtron noted that its AIX 2600G3 IC systems will be delivered within this year for installation at VPEC’s facilities in Ping-Jen City, Taoyuan, Taiwan. Dr. James Huang, General Manager of VPEC’s Microelectronic Products Business Unit commented, “Since last year, we are continuing our strategic plan to build up additional capacity to meet growing demand from our customer base for microelectronic and optical devices.” Aixtron News Release
