David Grant has, in the last five years, held directorships with Rhwydweithio Cymru Cyf, The Leadership Foundation for Higher Education, Cardiff & Co Limited and Cardiff Partnership Fund Limited.
Godfrey Ainsworth, IQE’s Chairman, comments,“David has performed leadership roles in a number of international businesses and I look forward to working with him and my other board colleagues in continuing to build the Group. David’s appointment will bring both large company experience and a broad technology background, which can meld with an existing non-executive team that has considerable history and knowledge of IQE’s business. A great combination.”
Grant, says, “I am excited to be joining IQE at such an interesting time in its development. IQE is a world leader in its sector and I have been impressed with the quality of the team and their future plans. I believe that I can help them build on their existing achievements, at the same time as adding further weight to the non-executive responsibilities of the Board.”
Drew Nelson, IQE’s Chief Executive, concludes, “The appointment of David to the IQE Board as Senior Independent Director will strengthen the non-executive team and our ability to comply with best corporate governance practice. With his technology background and considerable industry experience, he will undoubtedly add significant value to our strategic thinking. I am delighted that we have been able to secure the services of an individual of such high calibre and reputation.”
Aixtron presents innovations in MOCVD LED production
At a seminar in China, the firm explained how to improve LED quality, increase productivity and yield, and achieve more cost-efficient and brighter LEDs
More than 200 participants, mostly manufacturing customers, attended Aixtron’s MOCVD seminar
October 2012
www.compoundsemiconductor.net 67
for LED production held at the Aixtron China Ltd. Training Centre & Lab in Suzhou, China.
The seminar was co-organised by the China Solid State Lighting Alliance (CSA) and was the first of a series within the framework of Aixtron’s cooperation with SINANO, the Suzhou Institute for Nanotechnology and Nanobionics.
At the seminar, a focused overview was given into the field of LED and solid-state lighting (SSL) applications, from basic principles of MOCVD to the latest break-through technologies and solutions.
Michael Heuken, Vice President Corporate Research and Development at Aixtron, comments, “It is a real pleasure to welcome so many of our prestigious customers and business partners in Suzhou today and to continue the dialogue with China’s leading LED manufacturers. Our common goal remains to intensify efforts, e.g. how to improve LED quality, increase productivity and yield, and thus achieve more cost-efficient and brighter LEDs.”
Along with presentations from Aixtron specialists, SINANO reported its latest results to the high- end LED industry and research professionals. Nicolas Muesgens, Director Demo & Training Centre, Aixtron China Ltd., adds. “The seminar was a further step in helping us to better meet the needs of China’s rapidly expanding SSL industry. We also received positive feedbacks on Aixtron’s scientifically founded training concept and particularly on the fact that our Demo & Training Centre in Suzhou can provide our customers with the experience of working on MOCVD systems under real process conditions.”
Most of the speeches at the seminar were given in Chinese and were presented by Aixtron’s Chinese trainers. Some of them were derived from Aixtron’s training package for customers, so the seminar was a good opportunity to experience Aixtron’s trainers and training methods. At the Suzhou Industrial Park in the Yangtze River Delta future Chinese MOCVD experts are regularly trained in the latest semiconductor technology and manufacturing processes by Aixtron’s engineers.
