San’an expands ROY LED production with Aixtron AIX 2800G4-TM MOCVD systems

Deposition equipment maker Aixtron SE of Herzogenrath, near Aachen, Germany is to supply multiple AIX 2800G4-TM (IC2) cluster systems to Xiamen-based San’an Optoelectronics Co Ltd (China’s largest producer of full-color ultra-high-brightness LED epiwafers and chips), supporting its long-term plan to address the rising market demand for fine-pitch displays, which requires a capacity increase in arsenide-phosphide-based red, orange and yellow LEDs (ROY LEDs). All AIX 2800G4-TM (IC2) tools will feature a 15x4”-wafer configuration and are scheduled for shipment between fourth-quarter 2018 and second-quarter 2019.

“Due to our long-standing cooperation, we are familiar with Aixtron’s equipment technology,” notes San’an Optoelectronics’ general manager Simon Lin. “With respect to our long-term expansion plans for our LED business, we have a great deal of confidence in the outstanding quality of the latest AIX 2800G4-TM model, which has proven to be the best system currently available on the market,” he comments. “Characterized by wafer homogeneity and efficiency in material consumption in combination with maximum flexibility and versatility in production, the AIX 2800G4-TM enables us to meet the demanding requirements of our customers,” he adds.

“San’an has once again selected our highly reliable AIX 2800G4-TM system for its capacity expansion,” says Aixtron’s president Dr Bernd Schulte. “Looking forward to the continuation of our long-standing collaboration with one of the global leading LED manufacturers, we will enable San’an to quickly commission the supplied systems for high-volume production.”
