Changelight qualifies Aixtron's AIX R6 and puts MOCVD system into LED mass production

Deposition equipment maker Aixtron SE of Herzogenrath, near Aachen, Germany says that optoelectronics manufacturer Xiamen Changelight Co Ltd of Xiamen, Fujian Province, China has finalized qualification of its AIX R6 Close Coupled Showerhead metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system, which is designed particularly for LED mass production.

In the course of the qualification process, the AIX R6 not only demonstrated its production capabilities but also proved what is reckoned to be outstanding performances in terms of gas consumption, intrinsic yield and uniformity. Changelight has now put the AIX R6 system into production for LED high-volume manufacturing.

"By meeting Changelight's production standards, we have achieved another important customer qualification milestone for the AIX R6," says Aixtron's executive VP & chief operating officer Dr Bernd Schulte. "Based on our long-standing and great business relationship with Changelight, we are looking forward to further deepening our cooperation in the fields of gallium arsenide (GaAs)- and gallium nitride (GaN)-based applications," he adds.

Founded in 2006, Xiamen Changelight mainly produces full-color ultra-bright LED epitaxial wafers and chips, high-performance GaAs solar cells and LED lighting products. The firm also provides energy-saving lighting application solutions.
