Sino-Semiconductor relies on AIXTRON technology for VCSEL production

AIXTRON SE (FSE: AIXA), a worldwide leading provider of deposition equipment to the semiconductor industry, announced today that Sino-Semiconductor Integrated Optoelectronics Cooperation (Sinosemic) has ordered an AIX 2800G4-TM MOCVD system for the production of laser diodes. The Chinese chipmaker mainly specializes in the manufacturing of VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers) devices and will receive its first AIXTRON tool in the course of Q4/2018. The fully automated Planetary Reactor^® manufacturing system will be shipped in 8x6-inch configuration.

The AIX 2800G4-TM has established itself as the leading tool for high-volume production of VCSELs for 3D sensors and other diode lasers. The Planetary Reactor^® concept not only allows for maximum yield of devices at the highest performance level, but also for unparalleled productivity and uniformity of the epitaxial wafers. In addition to the excellent reproducibility of each individual system, customers also appreciate the very good repeatability amongst systems. In addition, the AIX 2800G4-TM provides incomparably high efficiency in handling the expensive chemicals used for MOCVD processes for the production of laser devices.

Ling Yong Peng, General Manager of Sino-Semiconductor Integrated Optoelectronics Cooperation, commented: "In recent years the AIX 2800G4-TM platform has already succeeded in the market for the production of VCSELs or datacom lasers. This is the first time we order an MOCVD system from AIXTRON and we are very much looking forward to benefit from the excellent performance of the AIX 2800G4-TM platform in terms of wafer homogeneity and maximum flexibility.”

"We are very pleased to have convinced Sino-Semiconductor of the performance of our AIX 2800G4-TM system. It is the ideal solution for high-volume production in the field of photonic applications. Looking forward to our new cooperation, we will support Sino-Semiconductor in the best possible adaption of their production processes to our equipment technology," says Dr. Bernd Schulte, President of AIXTRON SE.
