National Taiwan University Orders AIXTRON MOCVD Tool for White LEDs
|
|
(Nanowerk News) AIXTRON AG today announced that in the fourth
quarter 2008 the National Taiwan University (NTU), based in Taipei City, Taiwan, ordered
one Close Coupled Showerhead® 3x2" wafer Research Platform MOCVD system. It will be
used for research and development on GaN and related materials and devices and it will be
delivered in the third quarter 2009.

Professor Chih-Chung (C. C.) Yang of the Institute of Photonics and Optoelectronics,
National Taiwan University, comments: “We have been researching on nitride-based alloy
semiconductors for a number of years. Our experiments require a stable and reliable system
with commonality and compatibility with Taiwan’s popular production technologies. Not only
does AIXTRON’s CCS Research Platform suit this task very well but it also has a high
degree of versatility. In particular, we are looking forward to using the Dynamic Reactor
Height Adjustment option for growth at various reactor pressures. We are impressed with this
unique capability and expect it will enable us to more rapidly implement our process
development program.”

The AIXTRON Taiwan team is also eager to continuing its role in this project. AIXTRON
Taiwan’s R&D and Process Manager Dr. Joe Yang, who in fact graduated from NTU in 2003,
adds: “Our process team is naturally keen to ensure that the very best efforts go into this
project so we can provide NTU with a parameter set to form an excellent base for their
advanced R&D.”

Founded in 1928 National Taiwan University (NTU) today is ranked the most renowned
university in Taiwan and one of the “Top-Five” universities in Asia. Amongst Professor C. C.
Yang’s Institute of Photonics and Optoelectronics main research topics include the energy
technology applications of InGaN nanostructures, the growth and fabrication of all-InGaN
white-light and polarized LEDs. He has earned a very distinguished reputation in GaNrelated
research and is frequently an invited speaker at international conferences. Professor
Yang is organizing the international conference “White LED 2009” which will be held in Taipei
in December 2009; it was previously held in Tokyo Japan.
