Schau mal in die Vita von Felix Grawert. 
Im ersten Aixtron CC hat er in etwa so etwas gesagt. "Aixtron kenne ich bisher nur als zuverlässigen Lieferant". Im letzten CC gab es mehrere Fragen nach SiC:
Malte Schaumann
The first one is on carbide again. How long does it take for your customers to tune or qualify their process on your tools? So how -- what -- how many months are required then before the customers -- new customers could place more volume like orders? Felix J Grawert, 'President Member of the Executive Board'
Very significantly, yes? We have some customers would have -- will take on a very diligent, very rigorous qualification and quality control approach, where you can say it can be in the process of five, six, seven months, yes, very diligent. We also do have some customers which follow a much more aggressive risk taking approach, running some stress tests within literally a single-digit number of weeks and then starting to come to tool decisions in order to be -- and aggressively grab market share, yes? So it's a very diverse data, yes? So therefore, if you think about potential order, follow-up orders, it will be a mixed picture, vary by type of customer. And you can imagine some of the established German automotive supply chain lean much more towards the one side, other customers, then, of course, on the other end of the spectrum. Malte Schaumann
Okay. And then do you see other customers, new customers in your company to be close to also place orders within the next month? So would you expect to maybe have kind of relations to all the major players within a few quarters? Felix J Grawert, 'President Member of the Executive Board'
So we are in discussion. We are currently in discussions with all the big players of the market, and we are in demonstrations in our laboratory. And it's clearly our target, our objective to win a major share of this customer base. At this point, we cannot comment yet because the demos are still outstanding with many of them, which often we will eventually win over for our tool. Malte Schaumann
Okay. And do any of your customers provide some kind of indications for potential ramp schedules? Or do you have some kind of idea how potential ramp in 2020 might look like? Will it be one by one or there the potential for multiple orders or multitude of orders? Felix J Grawert, 'President Member of the Executive Board'
Sure, but it would be too early to discuss yet at this stage, yes? The technical mass production experience of our customers comes first, and then we enter the ramp phase. This is -- would be too early to discuss. Gruß
