July 8, 2010... Aixtron reports that Silan Microelectronics Co., Ltd (Silan) of Hangzhou, PR China placed an order for six new Aixtron Crius II Systems for GaN ultra high brightness blue/green LED production. Aixtron says that the new order is for six CRIUS II systems in the 55x2-inch configuration. Silan reportedly placed the order in the second quarter of 2010. The company will take delivery of the systems during the period of the fourth Aixtron indicated that its local support team will commission the new reactors at the Silan’s facility in Hangzhou, China. Hangzhou Silan Microelectronics Co., Ltd. is primarily engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of integrated circuits, LED products and other electronic components.

Mr. Jiang Zhongyong, General Manager Silan Azure, commented, “We are looking to carry out a major capacity increase for our nitride LED wafers so naturally we turned to Aixtron. Their new generation Crius II systems have demonstrated major improvements such as higher growth rates, high pressure growth and the more than doubling of productivity. Therefore, I am convinced that the Crius II will meet our need for process flexibility, uniformity in thickness, doping, and composition.”

Tony Pearce, Managing Director Aixtron said, “The CRIUS II will be delivered with the ARGUS multi-channel pyrometer allowing real-time surface temperature measurement and analysis that enables to monitor the thermometric distribution across the whole of the MOCVD growth surface in the CCS system.”
