Huga orders six Aixtron MOCVD reactors to boost LED capacity expansion

Deposition equipment maker Aixtron AG of Herzogenrath, Germany says that Huga Co Ltd placed an order for six AIX 2800G4 HT MOCVD reactors in Q2/2009. The systems, in 42x2 inch wafer configuration, will be delivered to the firm’s production facility in Taichung Science Park, Taiwan in Q4/2009.

Sybil Yang, CEO of Huga, said, "We already have thirteen Aixtron AIX 2800G4 HT mass production MOCVD systems in operation for the high volume manufacture of LED epiwafers. The No. 2 LED chip maker in Taiwan, Huga will place more orders for MOCVD systems in 2010 to increase the capacity to surpass competitors. The next phase of expansion in our business involves the strongly growing high-brightness backlighting LED product market and it is necessary to add further manufacturing capacity. Having served us so well, we looked to Aixtron once again…"

Earlier this week, it was reported that in response to optimistic projections about the LED backlighting market, Huga is to expand its LED chip manufacturing capacity to 2 billion units a month by adding 39 new MOCVD systems to its production lines.
