!!! Press Release !!! The light for the 21st Century! AIXTRON is pleased to announce the sale, and the installation and successful operation of an AIX 200RF MOCVD system at Showa Denko Research Laboratory, Chiba, within the framework of the NEDO sponsored program, "The light for the 21st century". Showa Denko decided for the AIX 200RF MOCVD reactor system in order to develop new structures for nitride applications focusing on LED development. Dr. Okuyama, head of the MOCVD research group, said that he had decided on AIXTRON because of the reliable, proven technology of AIXTRON’s MOCVD systems. With this technology he expects an important move into the white light market. The AIX 200RF MOCVD reactor system has been developed for the production of ultra-high uniform layered structures of III-V and II-VI semiconductors and other materials in R&D and production. The equipment is used in a variety of Nitride development programs worldwide. The reactor has a unique laminar flow design without turbulence which allows for precise control of the material composition and guarantees ultra sharp interfaces. Wafer rotation is provided 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 290 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, Conexant, EPI, Epistar, Epitronics, Honeywell, IBM, ITT, Kopin, Lucent, Motorola, NEC, Osram, Samsung, Uniphase, UEC, VPEC and numerous Japanese corporations. AIXTRON systems have also been installed in many of the world's most renowned research institutes including JPL, Sandia Nat. Lab., Fraunhofer Institute, ITRI-OES, CNRS. AIXTRON is very active in advancing MOCVD technology through collaborations and joint R&D projects with major partners worldwide. For further information please contact:
