Arima Changzhi to ramp HB-LED capacity with Aixtron G4 MOCVD systems

Deposition equipment maker Aixtron SE of Herzogenrath, Germany says that Arima Changzhi, a joint venture LED manufacturing company involving Changzhi High Tech Industry Investment Co China and Arima Optoelectronics of Taiwan, has ordered three AIX 2800G4 HT metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) systems in 42x2-inch wafer configuration and three AIX 2800G4 HT MOCVD systems in 11x4-inch wafer configuration.

All reactors have been installed and commissioned by a local Aixtron service support team and will be used for the production of high-brightness (HB) LEDs.

“We have been very actively preparing our epitaxy process development and production of LEDs for HB-LED wafers and chips,” says Changzhi High Tech’s general manager Mr Chen. “Underpinning this strategic plan will continue to be the equipment we receive from Aixtron... Through our long-standing ISCAS (Institute of Semiconductors of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Bejing) collaborations and more recently with Arima Changzhi, they have impressively shown us how easy it is to achieve outstanding results in a very short time," he adds.

“Repeat orders are particularly important to us and we will be with our customer every step of the way," comments Dr Bastian Marheineke, Aixtron’s VP sales. “As usual, we will ensure the highest performance and best utilization of Aixtron equipment. We know how crucial these six reactors are to them and are pleased to work closely with their highly knowledgeable staff for a smooth and rapid ramp to full production," he adds.
