Epileds qualifies Aixtron's AIX R6 MOCVD system for LED mass production

Deposition equipment maker Aixtron SE of Herzogenrath, near Aachen, Germany says that its AIX R6 metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system (launched last November) has been qualified by LED chip maker Epileds Co Ltd of Tainan Science Park, Taiwan for LED epitaxy mass production as part of its capacity expansion.

"The AIX R6 has demonstrated its capabilities during our qualification process, especially with regards to LED brightness, uniformity and throughput," says Epileds' president Ming Sen Hsu. "It features a large capacity and ability to perform multiple continuous runs without any maintenance. As a consequence, we have moved the AIX R6 into production. We are looking forward to benefit from its lowest cost of ownership in the market… we intend to make the AIX R6 the backbone of our high-brightness LED production," he adds.

"We have a long-standing and trustful commercial relationship with Epileds," says Aixtron's executive VP & chief operating officer Dr Bernd Schulte. "Due to an already large install base, Epileds has extensive experience with our Close Coupled Showerhead technology which has facilitated the implementation of the AIX R6," he adds.

Epileds manufactures blue, green, red, and white light LED wafers and chips with a full range of wavelengths (ranging from 365 to 940nm) suitable for applications such as indicators of consumer electronics, light sources for fax machines and scanners, indoor or outdoor display boards, automotive lighting, traffic signals and illuminators.
