AIXTRON announced that the company will supply multiple AIX 2800G4-TM (IC2) cluster systems to San’an Optoelectronics. The Chinese chipmaker with its long-term plan for the rising market demands for fine pitch displays requires a capacity increase in red, orange and yellow LEDs (ROY LEDs). AIXTRON’s AIX 2800G4-TM (IC2) tools will feature a configuration of 15x4 inches and are scheduled for shipment between 4Q18 and 2Q19.

AIXTRON's automated Planetary Reactor® platform has been established as the tool of reference for arsenide-phosphide-based ROY LEDs due to its unique production performance and high manufacturing capacity.

Simon Lin, General Manager of San’an Optoelectronics, said, "Due to our longstanding cooperation, we are familiar with AIXTRON’s equipment technology. With respect to our long-term expansion plans for our LED business, we have a great deal of confidence in the outstanding quality of the latest AIX 2800G4-TM model which has proven to be the best system currently available on the market."

"We are pleased that San’an has once again selected our highly reliable AIX 2800G4-TM system for its capacity expansion. Looking forward to the continuation of our long-standing collaboration with one of the global leading LED manufacturers, we will enable San’an to quickly commission the supplied systems for high-volume production," comments Dr. Bernd Schulte, President of AIXTRON SE.
