Purpose of procurement
The aim of this purchase is to upgrade the electronic control system and corresponding software and hardware for an existing AXITRON HVPE reactor.
The HVPE reactor was installed in the Electrum-laboratory at KTH in 1997. Since then no major upgrade has been implemented. While the present HVPE system continuously is serving numerous projects with high-quality epitaxial material, it is getting to the limit of its capacity (full load of academic projects as well as industrial development/production campaigns), resulting in increasing service demands and down-time. Many of the problems are due to a malfunctioning and outdated electronic control system, which limits the system performance.
