PROFILE |
 |
AIXTRON wants to help put the world on display. The company is the leading manufacturer of MOCVD (metallic organic chemical vapor deposition) equipment, which manufacturers use to produce compound semiconductors for such applications as light-emitting diodes, lasers, and fiber-optic components. AIXTRON's systems include a "planetary reactor," in which multiple wafers revolve while gaseous materials (including gallium arsenide) are deposited upon them. The company, which has expanded its product line and market share through acquisitions, derives about half of its sales from display technology companies, a fourth from telecom companies, and the remaining fourth from consumer electronics and optoelectronics customers.
