RIBER announced an order including a MBE 49 production system. At the end of December 2023, German company Innolume ordered a new MBE 49 machine to boost its production capacity for GaAs-based quantum-dot lasers and support the expansion of its markets, in particular the cloud networking market. The MBE 49 machine will further strengthen the fleet of RIBER machines operated by Innolume.

Its acquisition is also accompanied by a major order for services and accessories to modernize an existing machine and increase its productivity by integrating new solutions offered by RIBER. This new order confirms the market's adaptation of the MBE 49, one of the most efficient multi-wafer thin-filmosition systems for the development of electronic applications based on compound semiconductors. It also illustrates the effects of the stimulus plan for the semiconductor industry in Europe.

The order will be delivered in 2024.
