AIXTRON is selected for GaN-based blue LED by Taiyuan University of Technology, China. The order is for one AIXTRON Close Coupled Showerhead (CCS) 3x2-inch configuration deposition system.

The system will be delivered in the second quarter of 2011. One of AIXTRON´s local support teams in China will commission the new reactor in a new state of the art facility at the University.

According to Dr. Jian Liang, Professor of Taiyuan University of Technology’s Material College State Laboratory, this will be their first AIXTRON epitaxial growth system. They are particularly interested in its versatility as well as stand-out factors such as low material consumption. These will ensure that this system is so much superior for their University research project.

Taiyuan University Celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2002. Today it is listed officially as one of the 'Top 100 Universities in China' according to the Chinese government.
