Tekcore places multiple tool order for AIXTRON's New Generation AIX G5 HT
System

Aachen/Germany, March 19, 2010 - AIXTRON AG (FSE: AIXA, ISIN DE000A0WMPJ6;
NASDAQ: AIXG, ISIN US0096061041) today announced that Tekcore Co. Ltd of
Taiwan has placed a multiple order for AIXTRON's latest MOCVD System, the
AIX G5 HT, to expand their manufacturing capacity of high brightness light
emitting diodes (HB-LEDs).

The order was received, shortly after AIXTRON announced the launch of its
next generation MOCVD systems AIX G5 HT and CRIUS(R) II. AIXTRON is very
pleased with the success of these new system generations, having already
received multiple purchase orders for tools of both technologies.

Based on the proven Planetary Reactor(R) design, the AIX G5 HT features the
largest wafer capacity available (56x2/14x4/8x6inch) in combination with
revolutionary new reactor design features providing highest productivity
and layer quality by allowing very high growth rates at high process
pressures. The tool capabilities also include fully automated operation and
advanced fab integration.

Dr. Rainer Beccard, Vice President Marketing at AIXTRON explains: 'AIXTRON
is committed to demonstrate its technological leadership. With the
introduction of our new innovative technologies in our Next Generation
Platform, the AIX G5 HT, we provide a revolutionary new reactor design to
our customers that enables more than the doubling of productivity compared
to the previous MOCVD generation.'
