(Boursier.com) — Riber announces major milestones in its joint development program with IntelliEPI for the qualification of its new MBE 8000 production platform.
As Riber’s new flagship product, the MBE 8000 is the most capable MBE production tool available on the market, capable of processing batches of eight 150mm (6 inch) or four 200mm (8 inch) wafers. inches). The design of this machine benefits from more than 20 years of experience in production MBE systems, operating daily around the world with exceptional performance and process stability, thus reducing the cost of ownership of such equipment.
Following the delivery of the first MBE 8000 platform and after in-depth qualification work carried out in close collaboration with IntelliEPI, the results obtained exceeded expectations for such a technology, particularly in terms of homogeneity, defect densities, efficiency increase and abrupt interfaces, essential for superlattice structures to achieve high performance lasers. These performances, combined with a high control of the repeatability of large-scale production cycles, will enable the development of next-generation lasers, in particular for VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) technology which is experiencing rapid growth with important business opportunities in the field of facial recognition through the screen of smartphones.
In addition to the VCSEL market, the precise control of doping uniformity and process stability offered by the MBE 8000 platform will also improve the performance of microelectronic devices, such as conductivity.
Over the past few months, interest in this machine has grown rapidly, prompting discussions for a potential purchase.
