Vishay Orders Aixtron MOCVD system for LED production
Plan to rapidly expand GaAs-based infrared LED portfolio
Vishay Semiconductor GmbH has acquired an MOCVD system from Aixtron to expand its infrared LED production capacities. The company aims to substantially extend its product portfolio in this area. The system was delivered to Vishay at the end of March.
“We opted for Aixtron’s planetary reactor, as it deposits high-quality layers and offers very high production stability, long operating times, and high throughput rates. Not only that, Aixtron will support us with process expertise, thus enabling us to rapidly and efficiently expand our gallium arsenide- based infrared LED production,” commented Heinz Nather, senior vice president or Vishay’s Opto division.
“We are delighted to have convinced Vishay Semiconductor, one of the world’s leading producers of semiconductors and power electronics, with our range of technologies and services,” remarked Frank Schulte, Vice President of Aixtron Europe. “We have great expectations of our ongoing cooperation with Vishay.”
Vishay Semiconductor GmbH forms part of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc, based in Malvern, Pennsylvania, USA, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductor elements (diodes, rectifiers, transistors, optoelectronic components, integrated circuits) and passive electronics components (resistors, capacitors, inductors, sensors, transformers).

Annealsys, a company specialising in innovative vapour phase chemical deposition processes (CVD and ALD) for a wide range of applications, from semiconductors to solar cells, LEDs and microsystems..
Annealsys’ equipment is aimed primarily at research laboratories and universities, and industrial operators producing small batches. Founded in 2004 and based in Montpellier, France, Annealsys has built up unique CVD and ALD expertise, particularly for the integration of direct liquid injection vapourisers, making it possible to implement a wide variety of chemical precursors and develop processes for growing new materials.
Initially, the partnership will focus on CVD and ALD products and the American and Asian regions. Annealsys is looking to accelerate its sales growth internationally while for Riber it is an opportunity to further diversify into other thin-film deposition techniques.
GaAs Substrate Market Sees
Further Revenue drop in 2013 Report predicts challenging times for substrate makers
Despite strong growth in the GaAs device market, GaAs bulk substrate manufacturers saw both production and revenues decline for the second straight year, according to a recently released Strategy Analytics’ report.
