China’s Quantum Wafer orders three more Aixtron MOCVD systems to ramp up production

Deposition equipment maker Aixtron SE of Herzogenrath, Germany says that in fourth-quarter 2011 it received an order from existing customer Quantum Wafer Inc of China for three more Aixtron metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) systems, all of which will be dedicated to the growth of high brightness (HB) LED wafers based on gallium nitride (GaN) materials.

Delivery is due to take place during first-quarter 2012. Aixtron’s local support team will install and commission the new reactors.
