Riber sells research MBE system to Russia’s Institute of Automation and Control Processes in Vladivostok

Riber S.A. of Bezons, France, which manufactures molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) systems as well as evaporation sources and effusion cells, has sold a SIVA 21 research system to the Institute of Automation and Control Processes (IACP), part of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Vladivostok. The Russian Academy of Sciences is the umbrella organization for scientific i in the Russian Federation, and is very active in the semiconductor physics field.

The reactor will be set up in the optoelectronics and electronics physics research center, which is headed by professor Nicolay Galkin. It will enable the laboratory to ramp up its semiconductor research capabilities, focusing on the preparation of silicon- and germanium-based thin nanostructured layers.

Riber claims that its 21 Series is the world’s top-selling research MBE system, with the flexibility to meet the most demanding expectations for applied research on compound semiconductor materials. The firm says that the order will consolidate its position in the Russian market, where the semiconductor industry is developing strongly.
