Korean IC-manufacturer extends high volume DRAM production facility
Aixtron AG, announced it has received significant repeat orders for its 300 mm CVD LYNX3 system in the fourth quarter of 2005. AIXTRON expects shipment to be during the first half of 2006.
Aixtron AG, announced it has received significant repeat orders for its 300 mm CVD LYNX3 system in the fourth quarter of 2005. AIXTRON expects shipment to be during the first half of 2006.
The orders validate AIXTRON’s strategy to diversify its core gas phase deposition technology into the silicon semiconductor market. Largely based on sales of CVD-systems by AIXTRON’s subsidiary Genus, Inc., which was acquired by AIXTRON in March 2005, the proportion of silicon semiconductor equipment sales in AIXTRON’s total revenues last year increased significantly, from 1 percent in 2004 to 23 percent in 2005.
The customer will use the systems to ramp up its DRAM sub 80 nm high volume production site.
