AIXTRON SE announced that it has been awarded the 2013 LEDinside Aurora Award in the category “Most Efficient MOCVD Equipment.” AIXTRON received the award for its AIX G5+ technology for Gallium-Nitride-on-Silicon (GaN-on-Si). AIXTRON’s system was chosen due to its production efficiency and technological advancement, and was already awarded with the CS Industry Award in March of this year.
"Producing gallium nitride based LEDs on 200 mm silicon substrates is a promising route towards a much lower chip manufacturing cost,” said Andreas Tönnis, chief technology officer at AIXTRON. “This second award within a short period of time again confirms the high degree of innovation of AIXTRON’s R&D work in close cooperation with our customers.”
