is for one AIXTRON Close Coupled Showerhead (CCS) 3x2-inch configuration deposition system which will be used for research into GaN-based ma- terials for high-brightness (HB) blue LEDs. The system will be delivered in the second quarter of 2011. One of AIXTRON´s local support teams in China will commission the new reactor in a new state of the art facility at the University. Moreover, AIXTRON announced installation of its 2,000th MOCVD system at LED and solar cell specia- list company Changelight Co., Ltd., China.
In April 2011, AIXTRON announced a new order for the first automated 300mm Black Magic system for Graphene deposition from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Japan. The unique properties of Graphene make it an extremely promising channel material for next generation microelectronics and high frequency ap- plications. AIST placed the order in the first quarter of 2011 and the system will be delivered in the third quarter of 2011. The system will be installed in the AIST Super Clean Room at Tsukuba and commissi- oned by the local AIXTRON support team.
The AIXTRON automated Black Magic Graphene system met the very challenging requirements by the project group of Synthesis and Transfer Application of Graphene at the Collaborative Research Team Green Nanoelectronics Center (GNC). The system will be used for the development and application of Nanocarbon materials, which is one of the three main research assignments of GNC established at AIST in April 2010.
ustriamicrosystems (SIX: AMS), a leading global designer and manufacturer of high-performance
analog ICs today announced two new LED driver ICs with optimized performance and features to perfectly meet the needs of the latest LCD TVs.

The new AS382x LED controller ICs are available as the 16-channel AS3820 and the 12-channel AS3821 to meet the needs of the most common architectures of both direct and edge-lit LED TVs. Both ICs feature ±0.2% channel-to-channel accuracy – the highest accuracy available – to guarantee the best possible light uniformity and picture quality. The ICs can be used for driving external power MOSFETs or, due to their unique base current error compensation, even drive less expensive low beta bipolar transistors.
Markus Luidolt, Senior Marketing Manager for TV Backlighting at austriamicrosystems stated, “Our deep knowledge in systems support is one of the key advantages that enable very fast design-in cycles. This product has already been designed in by one of the largest suppliers of LCD TVs and is already ramping in high volumes today.”
