June 25, 2010... Aixtron AG of Aachen, Germany reported a new order for one Crius deposition system from the University of Duisburg-Essen. The order was placed in the fourth quarter of 2009 and the system will be delivered in the second quarter of 2010. Aixtron indicated that its local support team will commission the new reactor at the University of Duisburg-Essen Semiconductor & Optoelectronics Center in Duisburg, Germany. The system will be supplied in a 3x2-inch configuration and comes equipped with a ARGUS multichannel pyrometer.

Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Franz-Josef Tegude, Chair of Semiconductor Technology, commented, “We selected the Aixtron CCS system as part of the University’s initiative to acquire a nitride material system for the nitride nanowire NaSoL Project." He added, "The NaSoL Project aims to achieve production of GaN- and (Al,Ga,In)N-based semiconductor nanowires for improved efficiency solar cells and LEDs. The Aixtron CCS system will provide us with a firm foundation for a smooth and rapid development program for all our partners.”
