Aixtron AG is a provider of deposition equipment to the semiconductor industry. The company's technology solutions are used by a diverse range of customers world wide to build advanced components for electronic and opto-electronic applications based on compound, silicon, or organic semiconductor materials.
Aixtron's AIX G5+ is an MOCVD system used to create micro-LEDs, providing on-wafer uniformity control, low particle levels and unique advanced features for demanding micro LED requirements. In 2022, the company said it is starting to receive orders for its microLED production tools. In recent years, the company announced several microLED customers, including ams-OSRAM, PlayNitride, HC Semitek, Konka and others.
Aixtron trades in the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, and in the NASDAQ Stock Exchange (AIXG).

PlayNitride and Aixtron to collaborate on Micro-LED development
Aixtron and PlayNitride signed a joint-collaboration agreement to accelerate Micro-LED development. Aixtron will deliver an AIX G5+ C MOCVD system to Playnitride, that will be used to produce GaN-based Micro LED devices.
Aixtron says that the G5+ C is an advanced advanced production tool that offers market leading wavelength uniformity to meet the tightened Micro LED market specifications in a batch reactor high-throughput environment. The system allows for the lowest defect and particle level in the industry due to an effective in-situ cleaning technology and the cassette-to-cassette handler which is essential for high yields. The G5+ C MOCVD was recently ordered by Plessey for its own GaN-on-Silicon Micro-LED development and production.
Plessey placed an order for Aixtron's G5+ C MOCVD tool for GaN-on-silicon growth
UK-based GaN-on-Si MicroLED developer Plessey Semiconductor announced that it has placed an order for Aixtron's AIX G5+ C MOCVD reactor that will expand Plessey's production capacity for gallium nitride on silicon (GaN-on-Si) wafers.
The new Aixtron reactor will be installed in the first quarter of 2019, at Plessey’s fabrication facility located in Plymouth, UK. The AIX G5+ C MOCVD system has two separate chambers, which enables to use either eight 6" wafers or five 8" ones. The system will be an addition to the company’s existing (and smaller) Aixtron MOCVD reactor
glō orders an MOCVD tool for Aixtron to deposit GaN nanowire-based Micro-LEDs
Swedish-American GaN nanowire based micro LEDs developer glÅ ordered an AIX G5+ MOCVD platform from Aixtron to support the company's strategic expansion. The tool will be delivered with a 8x150 mm configuration by the end of 2017.
glÅ is commercializing micro-LED products based in its proprietary defect-free GaN nanowires technology. glÅ says that its technology enable the growth of mLEDs while maintaining the reliability of an inorganic material system.
