China’s San’an expands by ordering 50 Aixtron MOCVD systems
China’s largest LED maker San’an Optoelectronics Co Ltd has ordered 50 next-generation Showerhead metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) systems from deposition equipment maker Aixtron SE of Aachen, Germany.
Aixtron says that this is one of the largest orders that it has ever received, and is growing evidence that LED manufacturers are beginning to expand production capacity to meet the constantly increasing demand for LEDs.
The systems will be delivered starting in fourth-quarter 2014, and will be installed in San’an’s Chinese production facility by an Aixtron service team.
The tools will be used to expand San’an’s production capacity for ultra-high-brightness LED chips based on gallium nitride.
