We have begun to bring up one of our test chambers to use as a vertical R&D coating platform. This chamber was previously used as a load station for a much larger deposition chamber, but will now be modified to accommodate various deposition and plasma processing sources. A system like this is critical for us to Read more about Vertical In-Line Sputter System Build Underway[…]
We are thrilled to announce that Malachite Technologies has been accepted into the Molecular Foundry at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for our proposal related gallium nitride (GaN) growth techniques. Through this 1 year partnership, we will utilize the Foundry’s extensive technical knowledge base and gain access to their state-of-the-art MOCVD and plasma ALD systems for Read more about Malachite Proposal Accepted at Molecular Foundry[…]
Using a solid state microwave generator, we are able to create a compact, and focused atmospheric plasma. In this picture we are using a small flow of Argon to ignite the plasma, and the colors that are visible are different elements in the room air being ionized. This small (and safe!) source is meant for Read more about Atmospheric Plasma Threads[…]
Two new types of microwave plasma sources are installed and operational. One type is a more traditional ECR (electron cyclotron resonance) and the other is a high pressure collisional source. Our first development plans include the growth of DLC (diamond-like carbon) and studying the surface activation of polymer webs. Read more about Microwave Plasma Sources Operational[…]
