Riber receives order for clustered MBE research reactors 

Riber S.A. of Bezons, France, which manufactures molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) systems as well as evaporation sources and effusion cells, has received an order for two Epineat MBE reactors, connected to a central automated cluster, for research applications.

The firm claims that the systems from the Epineat range represent the most efficient solution for developing or producing compound semiconductor materials on 4-inch substrates. The cluster — a recent technological innovation by Riber — makes it possible to automatically move the substrates between various pieces of equipment while remaining in an ultra-vacuum environment at all times, allowing significant benefits in productivity and performance.

Riber says that the new order, to be delivered in 2012, confirms the relevance of its business model and strategy, which is focused on:

• capitalizing on the installed base and growing sales of epitaxy equipment, spare parts and accessories, as well as the corresponding services;
• launching a range of high-value-added equipment and services for high-growth application fields (thin-layer solar cells, organic LED lighting and displays etc).
