According to AIXTRON, the company will deliver the tools to the customer between 3Q18 and 1Q19. The ordered systems all have a 15x4 inches wafer configuration which increases yield at a good quality level. Dr. Bernd Schulte, the President of AIXTRON, was confident with the products, saying “AIXTRON is the largest supplier of MOCVD systems for the production of ROY LEDs and laser diodes worldwide. The strategic partnership with Changelight, the largest customer for gallium arsenide-based MOCVD systems in China, helps us to consolidate and expand our leading market position.”
