RIBER receives order to equip an autonomous pilot line for the design and manufacturing of optical devices in Europe
Bezons (France), September 30, 2024 - 8:00 am (CET) - RIBER, the global leader for Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) equipment serving the semiconductor industry, is announcing the sale of a fully automated MBE 412 cluster platform in Finland.
Based in Tampere, Finland, in the land of a thousand lakes, VEXLUM, a leading supplier of advanced laser devices for quantum technology applications, has ordered a MBE 412 cluster system to establish a pilot line for the growth of optical devices covering the visible and near-infrared spectrum. This line will mainly focus on VECSEL (Vertical External Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) structures while also exploring other innovative technologies.
The MBE 412 cluster is a platform compatible with 4'' substrates, offering great flexibility in terms of equipment, modularity, and adaptability, allowing users to continuously extend the machine's capabilities. Equipped with the EZ TOOL instrumentation package for real-time in situ growth control and powered by the advanced Crystal XE control software, this fully automated system is the first of its kind in Finland, a key European country for the development and manufacturing of next-generation semiconductors, and the 25th in operation since its launch in 2010.
This new order will be delivered in 2025.
