ESY–10 TTT

A highly flexible LPE Equipment for III-V Epitaxy.

Description

LPE Equipment for Flexible Use

The Key-Features of the SOF Optoelectronics ESY–10 Concept are a high Capacity combined with the Flexibility for various Types of LPE-Production Technologies. A Capacity of 50 Wafers for a Five-Melt-Process and 200 Wafers for a One-Melt-Process demonstrate the high Potential of this Type of Equipment.

In Addition to the standard ESY–10 Equipment for industrial Use, customer-designed Solutions with plenty of Options can be realised. The ESY–10 especially can be adapted to the Requirements of Research Institutes and Universities.

The ESY–10 can be designed as a one- or double- (twin) System to reduce the Size of Footprint in the Cleanroom.

The Graphite System of the ESY–10 TTT

In Principle the ESY–10 Graphite System consists of alternating fixed and movable graphite Plates with Hollows holding the Substrates. The System Capacity is determined by the Stack Height of the Graphite Plates. The Crucible is placed on Top of the Graphite Stack and contains the Melts for the epitaxial Process.
