Dr. Nicolas Muesgens holds a PhD in Physics from RWTH Aachen University in Aachen, Germany. With nearly 15 years at AIXTRON, he has held various roles in Technology, Project Management, Service, and Product Marketing. Currently, he is responsible for AIXTRON’s GaN-based High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) products, overseeing the assessment of the GaN market for Power & RF and MicroLED applications. Dr. Muesgens also defines AIXTRON’s GaN Epitaxy HVM product roadmap, covering wafer sizes from 100 mm to 300 mm. With around 15 years of experience in MOCVD technology across Germany and Asia, he is a seasoned expert in the field.
To achieve the goals of decarbonization and reduction of energy consumption higher efficient electrical system solutions are required. Here GaN with its intrinsic superior material properties over Si is a key enabler for advanced semiconductor devices meeting those requirements. To sustain the acceleration of compound semiconductor solutions AIXTRON addresses the increased demand in performance, fab efficiency and cost per wafers by the introduction of new products and product variances. In this talk we will present the recent progress on our 2023 launched G10-GaN platform for 150mm & 200mm wafer size as well as outstanding results on 300mm GaN for a variety of GaN based applications.
