The new CRIUS system’s application will be for the development and volume production of UHB blue /green LEDs.

Chief executive officer of Yangzhou Zhongke, Guohong Wang comments: “Our goal is to promote the LED-based solid-state lighting industry in China. I have long-time familiarity with AIXTRON MOCVD systems such as the AIX 200 and AIX 2400G3 15×2 AlInGaP system used for diode laser applications at the Institute of Semiconductors at Chinese Academy of Sciences and regard them as second to none in all round utility for optoelectronic structure fabrication. The CRIUS has set the standard for UHB GaN LED production and we keenly anticipate its rapid commissioning.”

Chief technology officer of Yanghzhou Zhongke, Yiping Zhen comments: “In our assessment of MOCVD equipment for the GaN UHB LED application the AIXTRON total CRIUS package is the one that will best suit our needs today and tomorrow. Our plan is ambitious, we want to develop as rapidly as possible a top class solid-state lighting technology. I believe we can achieve this with equipment and service of the high quality we can rely on AIXTRON to deliver.”
