Aixtron hosts MOCVD seminar for LED production in China

Deposition equipment maker Aixtron SE of Herzogenrath, Germany says that over two hundred participants, mostly manufacturing customers, attended its MOCVD seminar for LED production held today (September 14) at the Aixtron China Ltd Training Center & Lab in Suzhou, China. The seminar focused on LED and solid-state lighting (SSL) applications, from basic principles of MOCVD to break-through technologies and solutions.

Co-organized by the China Solid State Lighting Alliance (CSA), the seminar is the first in a series within the framework of Aixtron’s cooperation with SINANO, the Suzhou Institute for Nanotechnology and Nanobionics. Along with presentations from Aixtron, SINANO reported its latest results.
Prof. Michael Heuken, vice president Corporate Research and Development at Aixtron, said: “It is a real pleasure to welcome so many of our prestigious customers and business partners in Suzhou today and to continue the dialogue with China’s leading LED manufacturers. Our common goal remains to intensify efforts, e.g. how to improve LED quality, increase productivity and yield, and thus achieve more cost-efficient and brighter LEDs.”

Dr. Nicolas Muesgens, director Demo & Training Center, Aixtron China Ltd, added: “The seminar was a further step in helping us to better meet the needs of China’s rapidly expanding SSL industry. We also received positive feedbacks on Aixtron’s scientifically founded training concept and particularly on the fact that our Demo & Training Center in Suzhou can provide our customers with the experience of working on MOCVD systems under real process conditions.”

Most of the presentations at the seminar were given in Chinese by Aixtron’s Chinese trainers. Some of them were derived from Aixtron’s training package for customers, so the seminar was a good opportunity to experience Aixtron’s trainers and training methods.

At the Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) in the Yangtze River Delta future Chinese MOCVD experts are regularly trained in the latest semiconductor technology and manufacturing processes by Aixtron’s engineers.
