Aachen, Germany:
Russia's Saturn JSC Orders its First AIXTRON MOCVD GaAs System for the Production of Solar Cells
AIXTRON AG has received an order for an AIX 2600G3, 8x4-inch from Saturn Joint Stock Company
(Saturn JSC) based in Krasnodar, Russia. The reactor is for the mass production of gallium arsenide
(GaAs) epitaxial materials for solar cell device structures.
Saturn JSC's representative notes: "The new AIXTRON production system is going to quickly provide
our new program with a state of the art production platform for solar cell epitaxial materials.
Today there is a great need for solar cell panels for applications such as telecommunication satellites.
The AIXTRON process technology is well established in the industry with most of the leaders in the
field of photovoltaics production. In its 8x4-inch configuration the MOCVD system will provide us with
high yield with excellent uniformity, performance and reliability."
Dr. Bernd Schulte, Executive Vice President and COO of AIXTRON's Compound Semiconductor unit
adds: "Having supplied MOCVD systems to Russian customers for many years now we are very pleased
to receive this order from Saturn JSC. Our AIX 2400G3 product family of systems is enjoying strong
sales worldwide and the new order proves again AIXTRON's leadership in MOCVD equipment in Russia. Other institutes have invested in our systems for R&D of materials for satellite solar cells. The Saturn
JSC order is the first production volume commercial MOCVD equipment in Russia with the capability
for solar cell production".
Saturn JSC is an enterprise specialising in the area of solar and storage batteries for spacecrafts
production, production of control-and-measuring equipment for these products and complete
independent photovoltaic power-supply systems. Since its formation in 1968, the enterprise has
equipped more than 1000 spacecrafts with solar and storage batteries. Today, the enterprise takes
part in most of Russian Federation space programs and in a number of international projects. |
