AIXTRON launches world's largest MOCVD reactor for GaN LEDs
Aachen/Germany, July 6, 2011 - AIXTRON is raising the bar again by setting
a new benchmark for MOCVD reactor capacity, throughput and LED production
cost.
With the introduction of the new AIXTRON CRIUS(R) II-L, the world's largest
capacity MOCVD reactor is now available with a 16x4 inch or 69x2 inch
capacity. This new reactor evolution is based on the already market proven
CRIUS(R) II platform which was introduced very successfully in 2010,
guaranteeing customers a seamless transfer of qualified high performance
LED processes.
'Reduction of manufacturing cost is a key issue in the LED industry, in
particular when looking at the required cost reduction for solid state
lighting products. After having analyzed MOCVD related manufacturing cost,
it was obvious that the reactor capacity remains the key parameter with the
strongest influence on operating cost', states Dr. Rainer Beccard, Vice
President Marketing at AIXTRON.
'This new CRIUS(R) II-L is the largest capacity manufacturing-proven MOCVD
reactor available in the world today, allowing a fast reduction in LED chip
cost. It offers unsurpassed capacity and throughput, combined with an
outstanding yield due to its excellent uniformity and reproducibility. The
CRIUS(R) II-L reactor is design optimized for wafer sizes from 2 to 8 inch
and offers the potential for even further productivity enhancements.'
As with previous generations, the CRIUS(R) II-L reactor is based on the
Close Coupled Showerhead(R) (CCS) concept, which as a key-enabling
technology has a well proven track record in being easily scalable with a
seamless and short process transfer. The CCS technology is well established
in many markets with an excellent reputation and known to enable
straight-forward process tuning, stable and robust processes and superior
performance of LEDs.
