It’s reported that the University of Technology (TU) Eindhoven in the Netherlands has ordered a Close Coupled Showerhead (CCS) system in a 3x2-inch wafer configuration from Aixtron SE.
The system will be used for the growth of GaAs- and InP-based nanowire structures as well as for nitrides and silicon compounds.
TU Eindhoven placed the order in the fourth quarter of 2010. After delivery of the system in the third quarter of 2011, the local Aixtron SE support team will install and commission the new reactor in the state-of-the-art clean-room facility within the COBRA Research Institute at TU Eindhoven.
