FIRST AIXTRON OVPD TOOL FOR ORGANIC LEDS SUCCESSFULLY DELIVERED TO UDC
Aachen/New Jersey, January 31st, 2002 – AIXTRON is proud to announce the delivery of
the very first Organic Vapor Phase Deposition (OVPD) Production Tool to Universal Display
Corporation (UDC, NASDAQ:PANL), a leading developer of flat panel display technology
based in New Jersey, USA. AIXTRON developed the equipment under an exclusive license from
UDC and further process optimization will continue in the frame of a Joint Development
Program between UDC and AIXTRON. The planned installation for the system is taking place
since early January 2002. This excellent co-operation between AIXTRON and UDC is thanks to
the successful and fast development and transfer of technology developed at UDC’s research
partner Princeton University, located just a few minutes away from UDC. AIXTRON is the
leading manufacturer of high precision semiconductor production equipment for LEDs and other
photonic and microelectronic devices.
Using the unique AIXTRON OVPD reactor concept, which is based on its proven Tricent®
platform that utilizes a patented showerhead for highly efficient and uniform deposition,
AIXTRON is offering the right equipment to enter into the market for next generation displays
using the unique and advantageous OVPD technology. AIXTRON’s expertise in high volume
semiconductor production enables the OVPD design to be scalable like a CVD deposition
process for the rapid and uniform deposition of organic material in large area substrates starting
with sizes such as 6x6".
The many advantages of OVPD production technology compared to so far used inferior
OLED R&D technology include higher materials utilization, increased control over the
deposition process, higher potential throughput, yield and most importantly lower manufacturing
costs. Specifically Organic Vapor Phase Deposition involves the use of a carrier gas stream in a
hot-wall reactor at low pressure to precisely deposit thin layers of organic electronic materials on
to displays. The patented process can produce thin films having far superior surface properties
when compared to traditional OLED processing. This advanced OLED manufacturing process
will be a key element in bringing organic electronics into high volume widespread use in the flat
panel display industry. UDC`s OLED displays offer significant advantages over existing display
technology: They consume less power, have brighter colors, wider viewing angles and can be
flexibly bent like a foil.
Mr. Steve Abramson, President and COO of UDC, comments "We are very happy to have
received this OVPD tool within our precisely defined and tightly targeted schedule. Our
advanced process combined with AIXTRON`s tailor-made equipment technology and renowned
know-how will provide the industry with those key resources for enabling successful OLED
Display production."
Dr. Holger Juergensen, President and CEO of AIXTRON, adds "It is an exciting time for
AIXTRON to see the success of our strategy to further broaden our equipment diversification by
the addition of OVPD machines for OLEDs. We are proud of our achievement in developing in
such a short time the future deposition technology for OLED and we are very keen to continue
this fruitful co-operation with UDC who are providing such an innovative and interesting
technology for the industry."

Aixtron langfristig kaufenswert
Aktienservice Research

Die Analysten von Aktienservice Research nehmen erneut die Aktien von Aixtron (WKN 506620) genauer unter die Lupe und stufen sie als "langfristig kaufenswert" ein.

Im Kerngeschäftsfeld beschäftige man sich vornehmlich mit der Prozessentwicklung bis hin zur Herstellung schlüsselfertiger Komplettanlagen zur Produktion von Verbindungshalbleitern. Hierbei dominiere Aixtron auf der Grundlage der "Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition" (MOCVD)-Technologie mit einem Marktanteil von über 50 Prozent den Weltmarkt.

Natürlich würden sich die Zielkunden, die Halbleiterhersteller, derzeit noch wenig investitionsfreudig zeigen, doch dies werde sich in wenigen Monaten grundlegend geändert haben. Derzeit würden gerade mal fünf Prozent der Halbleiterhersteller die modernsten Produktionsmaschinen nutzen - ein riesiger Markt für Aixtron. An der MOCVD-Technologie und damit an Aixtron komme langfristig kein Halbleiterhersteller, der wettbewerbsfähig bleiben wolle, vorbei.

Ob Aixtron derzeit mit einem KGV von 30 oder 40 bewertet ist, ist nach Ansicht der Analysten von Aktienservice Research vor diesem Hintergrund langfristig recht wenig relevant.
