CIOMP orders Aixtron systems for development of GaN-based LEDs and AlInGaP-based red diode lasers

Aixtron AG of Aachen, Germany says it has received an order for two MOCVD systems from CIOMP (Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics & Physics), based in P.R. China.

To be delivered in Q2/2009, the AIX 200/4 and AIX 200/4
RF-S systems will be used for the development of ultra-high-brightness (UHB) GaN-based LEDs and AlInGaP-based red diode lasers.

"China has made a strategic commitment to advanced optoelectronic devices and UHB LEDs and red laser diodes in particular. We have formulated a plan to introduce two new advanced MOCVD tools to our new state of the art facilities via a contract with Aixtron AG. They have demonstrated that their overall package of process know-how, technical excellence and support will ensure we have a quick and straightforward commissioning of the new tools in the coming months," said Song Hang, professor and executive director of Key Laboratory of Excited State Processes, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Professor Wang Lijun, who will be responsible for the diode laser AlInGaP-based system, adds: "Aixtron's AIX 200/4 will become our principal R&D system and I am confident that it will be the best match to our specific laser fabrication development requirements. It has attractive new features which together with the implemented design innovations will, I believe, optimize the uptime and yield for AlInGaP epitaxial layer deposition".
