HERZOGENRATH, GERMANY - EQS Newswire - 17 March 2020 - AIXTRON SE
(FSE: AIXA), a worldwide leading provider of deposition equipment to the
semiconductor industry, announced today that KONKA Group Co., Ltd. has ordered
multiple AIX G5+ C and AIX 2800G4-TM MOCVD systems to build its
own volume production of GaN-based (gallium nitride) and AsP-based
(Arsenide-Phosphide) Mini- and Micro LEDs. KONKA, which recently announced its
plans to enter the North American consumer electronics market in 2020,
established its Micro LED initiative as a joint venture with Chongqing
Liangshan Industrial Investment Co. Most recently, the Chinese electronics manufacturer
has launched its "Smart Wall" Micro LED TV.
The Micro LED technology is on the verge to relieve existing display
technologies for next-gen consumer products. Since displays made of Micro LEDs
consist of micron-sized LED arrays forming individual sub-pixel elements, they
offer lowest power consumption while exhibiting superior pixel density,
contrast ratio and brightness at the same time. In comparison to the existing
LCD and OLED technologies, Micro LEDs open new opportunities for the design of
consumer mobile products as well as premium TV displays.
Dr. Allen Tsai, General Manager and CEO at Chongqing KONKA Optoelectronics
Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd., explained: "AIXTRONs
market-leading fully automated MOCVD tools AIX G5+ C and AIX 2800G4-TM
perfectly meet our tightened wavelength uniformity requirements for Micro LED
manufacturing. The advanced Planetary® technology stands out due to
excellent wavelength uniformity, high yield and efficient high-volume
manufacturing at lowest cost per wafer. Besides our commercial market entry for
Micro LED applications, Chongqing KONKA and Micro Crystal Transfer Group will
develop new technologies and applications based on GaN materials."
"Following the recent qualification of our AIX G5+ C tool for Micro
LED production means another step forward in the commercialization of our
system technology for Micro LED manufacturing. We are pleased that KONKA
acknowledges our performance contribution for Micro LED production and are
looking forward to the further cooperation with KONKA. AIXTRON will continue to
support the joint effort between Chongqing KONKA and Micro Crystal Transfer
Group for their development of new technologies and applications based on GaN
materials.", says Dr. Bernd Schulte, President of AIXTRON.
