University of Cambridge purchases AIXTRON tool for 2D/layered materials-based photonic devices

The UK's University of Cambridge has purchased a Close Coupled Showerhead® system for 2D materials from AIXTRON SE for its research and development in the field of photonics and optoelectronics. The AIXTRON system enables wafer scale growth of layered materials (2D materials). This allows the integration with silicon photonics to produce highly efficient and high speed optical data communication devices.
