Veeco receives milestone order for R&D System
Veeco Instruments has received an order to deliver the 25th GENxplor R&D MBE System to Technion, the Israel Institute of Technology based in Haifa, Israel. Introduced in August 2013, the GENxplor system is a popular R&D MBE system for universities and research institutions.
The system will be used by the Oxide Electronics Group for the epitaxial growth of high-quality oxide materials for their development into applications, including optoelectronics, sensing, next-generation logic, and memory devices. The Oxide Electronics Group is a member of Micro-Nano Electronics Center at the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Technion.
"Veeco has earned their reputation for having innovative and reliable MBE technology," said Lior Kornblum, who heads the Oxide Electronics Group. "The flexibility and superior technology of the GENxplor system, combined with the unique design of its enhanced e-beam evaporation solution, will enable us to accurately grow materials with exotic physics, which has exciting potential in developing new devices."
The GENxplor system deposits high quality epitaxial layers on substrates up to 3inch in diameter and is used for a wide variety of applications such as developing high-speed transistors, night vision systems, and wireless technology.
Its single frame design combine vacuum hardware with on-board electronics to make it up to forty percent smaller than other MBE systems, according to Veeco.
"The GENxplor has quickly become the industry's premiere R&D MBE system by enabling essential compound semiconductor epitaxial research around the world," said Gerry Blumenstock, VP, MBE Products. "Veeco strives to enable the industry's most innovative visionaries by continuously introducing new technology and maintaining an aggressive product roadmap to keep the MBE community moving forward. We are proud of this milestone order and look forward to the results of Professor Kornblum's research."
