Aixtron Co., Ltd.

<p>First established in 1983,<b><font color="#0033CC"> AIXTRON</font>&
lt;/b> is now
  the world? leading manufacturer of state-of-the-art MOCVD equipment for the
  
production of compound semiconductors. <b><font color="#0033CC">AIXTRON</font></b>?
  fo
unding members, who still run the company today, pioneered the commercial
  introduction and success of VPE, MOV
PE and MOCVD technologies. </p>
<p>Since then <b><font color="#0033CC">AIXTRON</font></b&g

br>  <b><font color="#0033CC">AIXTRON</font></b>? large-scale Planetary Reactor?
 &
nbsp;systems have lead to the worldwide acceptance of CVD technology as both an efficient
  and valuable product
ion tool. Continuing its focus on greater production efficiency,
  <b><font color="#0033CC">AIXTRON&
lt;/font></b> earlier this year introduced the
  first ever CVD system with true cassette-to-cassette a
utomated wafer loading
  as used in the Silicon industry. </p>
<p>With the new plant inaugurated
in September 2000 in Herzogenrath <b><font color="#0033CC">AIXTRON</font></b>
  has ope
ned up the world? largest and most modern production facility for MOCVD.
  Further phases which will result in a
ten-fold increase in existing production
  capacity are on the way.</p>
