About AIXTRON
AIXTRON builds metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) systems, which are machines that grow ultra-thin crystal layers on a wafer from gas-phase chemicals. These layers form compound semiconductors such as gallium nitride and silicon carbide, used in LEDs, power electronics and photonic devices. AIXTRON sells the equipment rather than making chips itself. It was founded in 1983 as a spin-out from RWTH Aachen University and is headquartered in Herzogenrath, near Aachen, Germany. Its shares trade on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Custom Silicon
Custom silicon means a company designs its own chips for its own products or data centers instead of buying standard parts. The chip is made by a foundry such as TSMC, but the design belongs to the customer.
