Aixtron announced its financial results for Q2 2022, with the company's highest quarterly order intake since 2011. The company said that it received its first order for tools used in volume production of microLED devices.
Aixtron announced several microLED system orders in the past, but these were R&D or pilot line systems. In 2021 Aixtron said that a US Tier-1 LED producer has selected Aixtron's AIX G5+ C equipment for microLED device production. In February 2022 Wuhan-based HC Semitek selected Aixtron's Planetary AIX 2800G4-TM (IC2) and AIX G5+ C MOCVD systems to produce microLEDs.
In May 2022 Aixtron remarked that it sees the microLED display industry advancing "as expected". Demand for its microLED production tools has "started to kick in". Aixtron said it is "increasingly confident" that we will 'soon' see commercial microLED displays on the market.
