Aixtron SE/ADR (OTCMKTS:AIIXY) is a Germany‐based technology company specializing in the development and manufacture of deposition equipment for the semiconductor industry. The company’s core expertise lies in metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) systems, which are used to produce compound semiconductor materials such as gallium nitride (GaN), gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium phosphide (InP). These materials are critical to the fabrication of light‐emitting diodes (LEDs), laser diodes, power electronics and high‐frequency devices.
In addition to its flagship MOCVD platforms, Aixtron offers a range of complementary thin‐film deposition tools, including atomic layer deposition (ALD) and plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) systems. These tools support advanced research and volume production in markets ranging from optoelectronics and photonics to energy and sensing applications. The company continually invests in R&D to improve throughput, yield and uniformity, helping customers accelerate the commercialization of next‐generation semiconductor products.
Headquartered in Herzogenrath, Germany, Aixtron maintains a global footprint with service, sales and support operations across Europe, Asia and North America. Its international network ensures timely maintenance, upgrades and training for customers in major semiconductor hubs, including China, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and the United States. This worldwide presence underpins long‐term partnerships with leading electronics manufacturers and research institutions.
Founded in 1983 as a spin‐off from the RWTH Aachen University’s Institute of Applied Physical Technologies, Aixtron has grown into a publicly traded company listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and represented in the U.S. over‐the‐counter market. The company’s leadership team, guided by CEO Dr. Felix Grawert, focuses on driving innovation in compound semiconductor manufacturing equipment, positioning Aixtron at the forefront of materials engineering for the electronics industry.
