Veeco Instruments Inc. announced today that the Korean Photonics Technology Institute (KOPTI) has purchased a GEN20™ Molecular Beam Epitaxy system. The system will be shipped to KOPTI’s Laser-IT Research Center and Photonics System Lab in Gwangju, S. Korea for high-powered GaAs-based laser diode research.
According to Swook Hann, Ph.D., Head of KOPTI’s Laser-IT Research Center and Photonics Systems Lab, “We have selected the MBE GEN20 system for our work in development of high-powered GaAs laser diodes because of its process flexibility and Veeco’s impressive track record in supplying tools to the III-V laser diode market. These are critical elements for KOPTI since we are developing technologies that can be taken from lab to fab.”
Jim Northup, Vice President, General Manager of Veeco’s MBE Operations, commented, “KOPTI is known worldwide for developing pioneering breakthroughs which bridge the gap between pure research and industrial production. We are pleased to partner with such an important technology center in Korea supporting the further commercialization of high power laser diodes with our GEN20 MBE system.”
The GEN20 MBE System is an ultra-flexible tool with a design configurable for III-V and emerging materials. For more information on the system please visit the Veeco website at: http://www.veeco.com/GEN20.
