Contact: Dr. Okuyama, Senior Researcher
In March, 2002, Showa Denko K.K. (SDK) qualified the AIXTRON AIX 2400G3HT Planetary Reactor® System for the mass production of Ultra-High-Brightness blue LEDs (470 nm). Showa Denko is one of the leading manufacturers of wafers produced by MOCVD and continues to focus on maintaining its world leading market position and advanced technology level. Commitment to expanding the compound semiconductor business has been underlined by the recent successful installment of several AIXTRON systems. The new AIXTRON system was financed within the framework of the NEDO Project entitled "The light for the 21st Century". NEDO is a semi-governmental organization affiliated with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan. The project aims at developing a new illuminating device that is highly efficient and which possesses highly luminous characteristics (twice as energy efficient as compared to existing fluorescent lights) using LEDs, which will be able to replace incandescent bulbs and fluorescent lamps. This project is jointly carried out by the NEDO and the Japan Research and Development Center for Metals (JRCM) through a subsidy provided to NEDO by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. JRCM carries out the R&D with the co-operation of the universities and enterprises.

Sterling, VA, USA, based Sterling Semiconductor was established in 1996 to manufacture SiC wafers and advanced electronic device components made there from. Sterling has been the recipient of many US Government R&D grants and contracts to develop leading edge materials and device technologies for military and commercial applications. Sterling currently has a strong backlog of US Government contracts, including a prestigious three year Title III contract to establish a 3-inch SiC wafer production line. Sterling's R&D efforts are conducted at its facility in Sterling, Virginia, and manufacturing is conducted at its facility in Danbury, CT. Sterling has a worldwide sales network within North America, Asia and Europe. Sterling has a number of alliances and sales arrangements. For example, in September 1998, ATMI, Inc. and Sterling Semiconductor, Inc. announced that ATMI's Epitronics business has signed a multi-year, multi-million dollar strategic alliance agreement in SiC wafers with Sterling Semiconductor. Sterling Semiconductor is also Wafer Technology's partner for SiC wafers.
Sterling Semiconductor, Inc., was acquired by Dow Corning in January 2003.
