Visual Photonics Epitaxy Co. Ltd. (VPEC) of Taiwan has ordered AIXTRON AG eight 2600G3 IC MOCVD tools.
In the fourth quarter 2009 VPEC placed its order for multiple additional epitaxial growth reactors making it the single largest purchase of its kind for the company this year. The systems will be commissioned at the company’s modern facility in Ping-Jen City, Taoyuan, Taiwan during the second and third quarters of 2010.
Vice President Neil Chen of VPEC said they have been using several AIX 2600 mass production MOCVD reactor systems for some years now. These have contributed greatly to their strong market share for optoelectronic and microwave epiwafers in Taiwan and worldwide.
In fact this business has been so successful that theymust bring on stream a major new additional capacity, according to Neil Chen.
