Aeluma Executes Agreement with AIXTRON for Purchase of G10-AsP MOCVD

Aeluma, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALMU) executed an agreement to purchase an AIXTRON G10-AsP metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system.
The tool will support advanced development and expand manufacturing capacity for Aeluma's non-indium-phosphide (non-InP) photonics platform.
Aeluma's technology integrates compound semiconductor materials with gallium arsenide (GaAs) or silicon (Si) substrates to enable cost-efficient scaling without relying on InP.
The AIXTRON G10-AsP system features 150 mm and 200 mm wafer capabilities, is configured for Aeluma's proprietary processes, and offers full automation with high throughput.
CEO Jonathan Klamkin stated the acquisition strengthens Aeluma's ability to meet growing demand for high-speed photodetectors, quantum dot lasers, and other photonic devices in AI architectures.
AIXTRON CEO Felix Grawert noted the system supports the industry transition towards larger wafer formats driven by AI-related market demand.
The agreement builds on years of collaboration between Aeluma and AIXTRON to combine heterogeneous integration platforms with MOCVD technology.
Aeluma specializes in high-performance photonic and electronic technologies for mobile, AI, defense, aerospace, robotics, automotive, AR/VR, and quantum applications.
