!!! Press Release !!! AIXTRON announces a further order from Hewlett Packard AIXTRON AG is pleased to announce further contracts for delivery of AIX2600 G3 Planetary Reactor® MOCVD systems to Hewlett Packard Ltd., Ipswich, UK. HP will use the systems for a range of opto-electronic devices for optical communication. HP will now have the capability of using the AIXTRON Planetary Reactor® range to produce many of their InGaAsP based Fabry-Perot and DFB lasers as well as UHB LEDs. The two-flow horizontal Planetary Reactor® is recognized as the most widely used multiwafer MOCVD reactor for compound semiconductor applications. The reactor concept allows laminar gas flow without turbulences for precise control of the material composition and achievement of ultra- sharp interfaces. Ultra-high uniformity along with high growth efficiency on multiple 2, 3, 4 or 6 inch wafers is achieved through wafer rotation by the patented Gas Foil Rotation®. AIXTRON offers a wide range of epitaxial systems for MOVPE, VPE and LPE from R&D- oriented systems up to large-scale Planetary Reactor® production systems for up to 25x4 inch or 9x6 inch wafers. The company has installed over 280 systems worldwide, provides an extensive service and support network for maintenance and upgrading and is represented in over 15 countries. Among AIXTRON's list of further industrial clients are names such as Alcatel, AT&T, EPI, Epitronics, Honeywell, IBM, Kopin, Motorola, NEC, Philips, Rockwell, Samsung, Siemens and numerous Japanese corporations. AIXTRON systems have also been installed in many of the world's most renowned research institutes including JPL-CALTEC, Sandia Nat. Lab., Fraunhofer Institute, CNET and CNRS. AIXTRON is very active in advancing MOCVD technology through collaborations and joint R&D projects with major partners worldwide.
