Riber receives order for MBE 49 production system
Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system maker Riber S.A. of Bezons, France says that an industrial customer in Asia has ordered an MBE 49 production system – for delivery in 2025 – to enhance its production capacity for gallium arsenide (GaAs) photodiode devices and optical amplifiers based on quantum dot lasers.
Riber notes that GaAs photonic and radio-frequency components are gaining significant importance in the MBE market, especially with the rise of high-volume applications in 3D detection, leading to a shift in the supply chain towards 6-inch substrates.
The MBE 49 production system offers compatibility with the 6-inch substrate manufacturing process and features what are said to be optimized, uniform and stable effusion cells along with efficient cracking cells for the manufacture of photonic and electronic components from III-V elements. The MBE 49 is a fully automated system with a proven track record of more than 30 years, benefiting from customized control through Crystal XE software developed by Riber.
With more than 55 machines sold worldwide, the MBE 49 system is recognized as one of the most efficient multi-wafer thin-film deposition platforms for developing electronic applications based on compound semiconductors.
