Tool Order: WIN Semiconductors orders MOCVD tool for solar cell production from AIXTRON

WIN Semiconductors has placed an order with AIXTRON for its AIX 2600G3 IC epitaxy reactor that will be used for the development and manufacture of triple junction solar cells on germanium wafers for terrestrial Solar Cell applications. It will be installed in WIN Semiconductors’ facility in Kuei Shan Hsiang, Taiwan.

“Our decision for the AIXTRON equipment was confirmed by the fact that the major players in the solar cell epitaxy market in Europe are successfully using the AIXTRON MOCVD systems,” stated a spokesperson for WIN Semiconductors. “We are convinced of this track record of AIXTRON tools in solar cell manufacture in Europe and are confident that the new system will clear the way for our success in the solar cell market.”

WIN Semiconductors is diversifying into solar cell manufacturing.
