Sustainability at AIXTRON

Act responsibly and carefully

We know that social, ecological and economic activities and services influence each other and have noticeable interactions. As a supplier to a pioneering key industry, we conduct our business carefully, responsibly and taking the interests of all stakeholders into account. Our efforts are therefore aimed at a future for our company, our customers and society that is characterized by sustainability. This is reflected in our CSR policy , which sets out guidelines for responsible and sustainable economic activity.

Sustainability is much more than just complying with regulations and rules. It must be an expression of a constant and serious effort to permanently improve our economic, ecological and social aspects. We also want our employees to be motivated to work for a responsible company and to develop products and technologies that can change the world.

The deposition systems from AIXTRON - a global leader in the semiconductor industry - are used to produce high-performance components for electronic and opto -electronic applications based on compound and organic semiconductor materials.

We can have a particular influence on the design and development of our products. Through our future-oriented technologies, but also through the use of Industry 4.0 processes, we contribute to a significant reduction in the energy consumption of our customers' and their customers' products. For example, power components (III-V semiconductors) made of gallium nitride ( GaN ) with a large bandgap, such as those manufactured on our systems, require significantly less energy with the same or higher performance compared to conventional silicon-based power chips.

We also continuously reduce the environmental impact in the manufacturing process and in our building technology by using energy and other natural resources consciously and responsibly.
