ams OSRAM and AIXTRON announce qualification of AIXTRON G5+ C and G10-AsP
systems on 200mm wafers for Micro LED application
Premstaetten, Austria, Munich, Germany, and Herzogenrath, Germany
(February 7^th, 2023) — ams OSRAM (SIX: AMS), a global leader in optical
solutions, and AIXTRON SE (FSE: AIXA), a leading provider of deposition
equipment to the semiconductor industry, announced today that ams OSRAM
has qualified AIXTRON AIX G5+ C and G10-AsP MOCVD systems on 200mm wafers
for a Micro LED application.
The MOCVD systems AIX G5+ C and the new G10-AsP from AIXTRON SE offer
AIXTRON planetary technology which is paving the pathway for the next
generation of high-resolution Micro LED displays. In spring 2022, ams
OSRAM had announced plans to create additional manufacturing capacity in
200mm allowing production of LED and Micro LED at its existing location in
Malaysia. The MOCVD systems are expected to help enable volume production
of Micro LED for a new generation of display applications.
“AIXTRON and ams OSRAM have a long-standing cooperation, and we are
familiar with the performance and quality standards of the equipment. For
an ambitious project like the development and production of Micro LED for
AsP and GaN devices, we needed exactly such a partner at our side”, says
Robert Feurle, Executive Vice President and Head of Business Unit Opto
Semiconductors at ams OSRAM.
Dr. Felix Grawert, CEO and President of AIXTRON SE, adds: “The G10-AsP and
AIX G5+ C qualification at ams OSRAM is a very important milestone in our
company’s history. ams OSRAM is a world-class LED manufacturer and
perfectly positioned to enable the fundamental new technology that will
come to market. We are on the verge of a technology shift away from
conventional display technologies to a new type of Micro LED displays.
Now, AIXTRON is entering one of the future’s growths markets that has an
enormous potential, and we are doing this with a perfect partner at our
side.”
Micro LED technology offers very significant advantages for display
technology such as higher pixel density, longer lifetime, higher
brightness, faster switching speed and a wider color spectrum. An
important benefit is also the low relative energy consumption, which makes
Micro LED technology ideal for upcoming generations of smaller
display-equipped consumer devices which provide a very limited space for
batteries.
The production of Micro LEDs comes with special requirements: volume
production includes a special transfer process where multiple thousands of
LED chips (arrays) with dimensions measured in micrometers are picked up
and transferred. Any defect can result in dead pixels that can make an
entire array useless. Hence, an almost error-free epitaxy process is
necessary, minimizing defects and allowing for high yield and economically
viable production of Micro LEDs.
AIXTRON’s new G10-AsP epitaxy tool has been designed to address the
specific needs of this application: It is the world’s first fully
automated AsP reactor offering fully automated cassette-to-cassette wafer
loading as well as a cleaning mechanism based on in-situ etching.
Together, these two features have a major impact on the yield performance.
In addition, the AIXTRON system offers the advantages of batch reactor
technology: it comes with the lowest production cost per wafer currently
available in the market and the highest throughput per cleanroom area. At
the same time, the new tool comes with precise flow and temperature
control permitting the best material uniformities run after run.
