January 4, 2011 — AIXTRON SE (FSE:AIXA, NASDAQ:AIXG) delivered multiple AIX G5 HT metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) reactors to existing customer Nantong Tongfang in China.
The reactors, in 56 x 2" and 14 x 4" configurations, will be used to grow high-brightness light-emitting diodes (HB-LEDs). The Tsinghua Tongfang Group required the reactors for a capacity expansion of HB-LED production, said Mr. Wang, VP of the Group. The company already has 2 existing AIX 2800G4 systems. Mr. Wang cited reliability, cost-effectiveness, and service as reasons for choosing AIXTRON MOCVD systems.
