New AIXTRON MOCVD Technology Center Supports China's Global LED Ambitions
AIXTRON Opens Training and Demonstration Laboratory in Suzhou
Aachen, Germany/Suzhou, China. March, 16, 2012 - A ceremony was held today
to mark the opening of AIXTRON SE's (FSE: AIXA; NASDAQ: AIXG) new training
and demonstration center at SINANO - the Suzhou Institute for
Nanotechnology and Nanobionics.
A representative of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC),
the German Consul General in China, many of AIXTRON's key customers and
numerous partners from leading universities and research institutes from
across Greater China took part in the ceremony in the city of Suzhou,
China.
At the Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) in the Yangtze River Delta - one of
China's most influential business locations - future Chinese MOCVD experts
will be trained in the latest semiconductor technology and manufacturing
processes. The AIXTRON center will be able to draw upon the collaborative
synergies between exceptional industrial and institutional research and
also offers a very high quality of training.
'In order to achieve China's aim of global LED leadership, LED products
made in China need to be able to take the lead in lighting quality,
efficiency and cost-effectiveness. I believe that this cooperative
arrangement will make a significant contribution toward achieving these
goals,' said a spokesperson for SINANO. 'One of the new facility's main
priorities will be to provide Chinese customers with the depth of process
knowledge they need in order to optimize their devices.'
'China is now playing a significant global role in the emergence of the LED
lighting market through the extensive national and regional encouragement
of LED applications.' AIXTRON's President&CEO Paul Hyland said in his
speech. 'At the new center, we will be able to proactively support our
customers' technology developments by utilizing the very latest AIXTRON
technologies and by providing the highest quality training, not only in the
field of LEDs but also in other nanotechnology areas, including GaN-on-Si.'
The cooperative agreement with SINANO will facilitate the full process and
characterization of LEDs, the technical properties of which are essential
to lighting product quality.
The training courses offered will use AIXTRON's latest generation CRIUS(R)
II-XL and AIX G5 HT systems and will be held in a production cleanroom
environment, laboratories, and classroom training facilities that occupy a
total area of 350 sqm. 'We will focus on the most critical factors in the
manufacturing process, which will enable operators of MOCVD facilities to
achieve better system utilization times and higher yields, thereby reducing
their operating costs - our focus will be on operational efficiency,
maintenance routines, process optimization and fab management,' announced
Dr. Nicolas Muesgens, Director of the AIXTRON Training and Demonstration
Center. 'In Suzhou, we will offer intensive, science-based, hands-on
training courses to small groups, led by AIXTRON's highly qualified and
experienced engineers.'
AIXTRON delivers key-enabling technologies for innovative and
energy-efficient applications. The company has more than 30 years of
experience in developing MOCVD production technologies for a wide range of
innovative and highly complex semiconductor devices, such as LEDs, lasers,
transistors and solar cells.
As well as AIXTRON's focus on best-practice commercial considerations, the
new training center in Suzhou, will also pay special attention to
operational health and safety issues and to the protection of the
environment, by adhering to and promoting German, international and Chinese
product-safety and waste-management standards.
