LEDs ♦ news digest
At the Grand Opening event in Varese, close to Milan, LEDisOne hosted more than 100 official guests, politicians, architects, representatives of industry and universities.
Newly certified distributor LEDisOne is specialised in LED lighting and shows a broad background in the semiconductor industry.
For Optogan the expansion to Italy has been a key target, since the country is considered as the home market for architectural lighting.
“Italy has always been one of the front runners in Solid State Lighting and is traditionally first in adopting new technologies and trends of the indoor lighting industry,“ says Ove Sörensen, Senior Sales Director & Business Development at Optogan GmbH.
He adds, “The potential for LED based lamps and luminaires in this country is on such a high level that we cannot afford to miss this strategic market.”
Besides the architectural lighting and retrofit business LEDisOne will also focus on sportfield and flood lighting. Regional sports clubs and associations have already expressed their interest.
“So far our customers are mainly designers, architects, industrialists and public authorities, but our long-term goal is to collaborate with the government since there are development projects concerning an energy efficient re-design of cities”, states Gabriele Demaria, Managing Director of LEDisOne.
“Within the next year we plan to set up the company structure in terms of additional locations and manpower. We strongly believe we have found in Optogan the right partner to fulfil our ambitious targets.”
Warsaw to use Aixtron CCS reactor for R&D of GaN
The University of Warsaw will use the reactor to pursue gallium nitride research
Aixtron SE has a new MOCVD system order from the University of Warsaw, Poland.
June 2012

The contract is for one Close Coupled Showerhead (CCS) reactor in a 3 x 2-inch wafer configuration, to be used for the growth of GaN materials.
The system was ordered in the fourth quarter of 2011 and will be delivered in the second half 2012 as part of a project co-financed by the European Union titled “Physics as the basis for new technologies – development of modern research infrastructure at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw”.
Aixtron Europe’s service support team will install and commission the system at a dedicated cleanroom facility within the Institute of Experimental Physics of the University of Warsaw’s Faculty of Physics.
“Aixtron is an excellent supplier for R&D GaN MOCVD systems and we believe that the longstanding world-renowned expertise of Aixtron’s technology and service will therefore be a key factor for successful development of nitrides technology at the University of Warsaw”, Roman Stepniewski comments.
“We expect the CCS reactor to be the best solution because there are few systems that possess such a good all-round combination of characteristics. It is a very stable platform, optimised for the growth of nitride thin films for a range of requirements, and comes with excellent reliability, ease of use and reproducibility. While we are starting a new research project, we are looking forward to putting the Aixtron CCS reactor into use.”
Frank Schulte, Vice President Aixtron Europe, adds, “We are very pleased to announce this order from the University of Warsaw. Professor Stepniewski’s team has a worldwide reputation for the quality of their work in advanced semiconductor materials, in particular in growth technology and basic studies of nitrides. There is no doubt that like many other research groups, they will quickly find the CCS to be not only a robust route to uniformity and scalability, but also an ideal and sustainable solution for their needs.”
