(France), June
14, 2023 –
5:45pm
(CET) – RIBER, the global leader for molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)
equipment serving the semiconductor industry, is
announcing major milestones in the joint
development program with IntelliEPI
for the qualification of the new MBE 8000 production
platform.
As the new Riber’s flagship, the MBE 8000 is the
highest capacity MBE production tool available on the market, able
to handle batches of eight 150 mm (6 inches) or four 200 mm (8
inches) wafers. The design of this machine benefits from over 20
years’ experience in production MBE systems running daily around
the world and enabling outstanding process performances and
stability, thus reducing their cost of ownership.
Following the delivery of the first MBE 8000
platform and after a thorough qualification work carried out in
close cooperation with IntelliEPI, the results obtained have
exceeded the expectations for such technology, particularly in
terms of uniformities, defect densities, increasing yield, and
interface abruptness, which is key for superlattices structures to
achieve high performance lasers.
Those performances combined with a high level of
run-to-run repeatability control in large-scale production will
enable new generation lasers, in particular for the fast-growing
VCSEL (vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser) technology with
significant market opportunities in the field of smartphone under
display facial recognition.
In its latest report on VCSEL, Yole Group
specified: a “major change expected is a shift in wavelength from
940 to 1,380nm (…)to achieve an integration of the VCSELs behind
organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays, which are transparent
at this wavelength. The first application could be the proximity
sensor being placed under the display (…).” (source)
On top of the VCSEL market, the precise control
of the doping uniformity and the processes stability offered by the
MBE 8000 platform will also enhance microelectronic device
performances, such as conductivity.
Over the past few months, as results were
disclosed to several industrial customers, interest for this
machine as grown quickly, leading to discussions for potential
purchase.
According to Yung-Chung Kao, IntelliEPI
President and CEO, “From the initial evaluation so far, this Riber
MBE 8000 has shown very impressive performance in terms of being
able to produce high quality epi materials over such a large
substrate platen area with excellent composition and thickness
uniformity across the 8x6” platen. With this improvement, the MBE
8000 platform offers a solution to make large-scale production MBE
technology more competitive especially for high performance and
high throughput market opportunities
Christian Dupont, Riber’s CEO : ”Thanks to
the efforts of Riber and IntelliEPI teams, we have reached a major
step for MBE 8000 qualification. The results provided by the
machine exceed our initial objectives. With an optimum cost of
ownership and large capacity the MBE 8000 equipment has strong
commercial prospects. In addition, our milestone in this joint
development program with IntelliEPI demonstrates the capability to
bring MBE technology in high volume semiconductor industry. ”
