May 6, 2009... The CIOMP, the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics & Physics, based in P.R. China, has reportedly ordered two new Aixtron MOCVD systems. One is the AIX 200/4 and the other is the AIX 200/4 RF-S. According to Aixtron, CIOMP will use the systems for the development of ultra-high-brightness (UHB) GaN-based LEDs and AlInGaP-based red diode lasers. Aixtron also indicated that the systems will be delivered in the second quarter 2009. Professor and Executive Director of Key Laboratory of Excited State Processes, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Mr. Song Hang, commented, "We have formulated a plan to introduce two new advanced MOCVD tools to our new state of the art facilities via a contract with Aixtron AG. They have demonstrated that their overall package of process know-how, technical excellence and support will ensure we have a quick and straightforward commissioning of the new tools in the coming months."

Professor Wang Lijun, who will be responsible for the diode laser AlInGaP-based system, added, "Aixtron's AIX 200/4 will become our principal R&D system and I am confident that it will be the best match to our specific laser fabrication development requirements. It has attractive new features which together with the implemented design innovations will, I believe, optimize the uptime and yield for AlInGaP epitaxial layer deposition." Aixtron News Release
