AIXTRON achieves 100th G10-SiC Shipment Milestone

AIXTRON achieves 100^th G10-SiC Shipment Milestone

 

Herzogenrath, September 22nd, 2025 – AIXTRON SE (FSE: AIXA) ships its 100^th G10-SiC system. This milestone underscores the strong market demand in AIXTRON’s G10-SiC epitaxy batch technology over the last 3 years, strengthening the global silicon carbide power device manufacturing for next-generation power electronics.

 

AIXTRON, leading supplier of deposition equipment to the semiconductor industry, today announced the shipment of its 100^th G10-SiC system. The milestone delivery was made to a European power device and system manufacturer, supporting the ramp-up of 200 mm SiC epitaxy production capacity.

 

This achievement highlights the strong global adoption of AIXTRON’s SiC Planetary Reactor® technology, which enables the production of highly uniform, high-quality silicon carbide (SiC) material – one of the most critical steps in manufacturing efficient SiC power devices. Only 3 years after launch, AIXTRON’s most advanced SiC epitaxy platform is deployed in high-volume manufacturing at a majority of SiC device makers, foundries, and epi houses worldwide.

“Shipping the 100^th G10-SiC system is a major milestone for AIXTRON and our customers,” said Dr. Frank Wischmeyer, Vice President Silicon Carbide at AIXTRON. “It demonstrates the strong market trust in our technology and confirms our leading position in enabling the global ramp-up of SiC power electronics – a key driver of the ongoing electrification of our society.”

 

Silicon carbide is a wide-bandgap semiconductor material that transforms power conversion across multiple industries. Its superior efficiency and performance make it the technology of choice for electric vehicles, renewable energy systems such as solar and wind, and industrial power supplies. More recently, SiC has begun to play a key role in compact, high-power applications, including 12 kW and larger power supplies for AI server farms.

AIXTRON’s G10-SiC system features a unique multi-wafer 6x200 mm batch configuration, combining highest throughput with superior epitaxial film quality and yield. It is equipped with Multi-Ject® technology, delivering highly uniform epitaxial layers across a wide voltage class range of SiC devices.

 

The system also supports volume manufacturing on 150 mm wafers, ensuring flexibility during the industry’s transition toward the larger 200 mm diameter.
