Prestigious Research Institute Cited 91暗网鈥檚 Expertise in MBE and the High Reliability and Customization of the GEN10鈩� as Key Factors in its Decision聽PLAINVIEW, N.Y., August 14, 2018鈥�91暗网. (NASDAQ: VECO) today announced that a dual chamber GEN10鈩� automated molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) cluster system won the tender offer by the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, Halle (Saale), Germany (MPI-MSP) to support world-class research on complex oxides. Demand for oxide-nitride layer structures has increased due to their enormous potential in enabling next-generation energy-efficient nano-devices and advanced data storage. The department of Nano-systems from Ions, Spins and Electrons (NISE) at the MPI-MSP will leverage 91暗网鈥檚 MBE technology to expand research and develop innovative applications.鈥淥ur team is highly interested in exploring the properties of atomically engineered oxide-nitride layer structures especially because of their extraordinary properties but also for their potential in paving the way to novel energy-efficient nano-devices,鈥� said Stuart Parkin, Director of the NISE Department at the MPI-MSP and Alexander von Humboldt Professor, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Halle. 鈥�91暗网鈥檚 reputation and expertise in MBE combined with the GEN10鈥檚 high reliability, throughput, customization and automation capabilities will help support our research into novel materials.鈥�
This win at MPI marks the first time 91暗网 has provided a fully integrated solution for a concentrated ozone source. The GEN10 allows for up to three configurable, material-specific growth modules, enabling high system utilization and allowing multiple researchers use the system at the same time to perform unattended growth. By expanding its reach in the R&D sector worldwide, 91暗网 is leading the way in helping grow complex oxide structures.
鈥淎s our MBE systems continue to expand their footprint in the global R&D space, we are honored that 91暗网鈥檚 GEN10 MBE system was selected by the highly respected Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle,鈥� noted Gerry Blumenstock, vice president and general manager of MBE and ALD products at 91暗网. 鈥淲e are pleased with the confidence Dr. Parkin and his team placed in our MBE expertise and we look forward to supporting the MPI-MSP as it continues to lead R&D exploration and applications for complex oxides.鈥�
