Cambridge NanoTech Delivers 200th ALD System

June 23, 2010 By vani Leave a Comment

CAMBRIDGE, MA, Jun 22 (MARKET WIRE) —
Cambridge NanoTech, the world leader in Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD)
science and equipment, today announced the delivery of its 200th ALD
system. Cambridge NanoTech attributes this milestone to an increasingly
widespread acceptance of this technology and the unique qualities that
the company brings to the ALD community.

Roger Coutu, VP of Engineering at Cambridge NanoTech, recognizes the
significance of this milestone: “This indicates two points. Firstly,
there has been a general market acceptance of this technology, and
secondly, this validates our belief that the technology will be more
accessible, affordable, and ubiquitous through designs that are less
complex.”

Ray Ritter, COO of Cambridge NanoTech, is pleased to note that the
company now has ALD systems being used in a multitude of applications
installed on five continents. “The main mission of Cambridge NanoTech is
to produce a wide range of ALD systems for scientific research and
manufacturing,” said Mr. Ritter.

Cambridge NanoTech is dedicated to continuing to be the provider of
choice for next-generation ALD products. The company’s plans for future
ALD projects include developing FAST ALD and roll-to-roll ALD systems for
use in the rapid deposition of flexible and rigid large area substrates.
“Our larger research and production ALD systems have been well received
in the market, following in the footsteps of our highly successful
Savannah ALD system,” said Mr. Ritter.

Cambridge NanoTech is currently attending the ALD 2010 conference in
Seoul, South Korea, where our scientists are presenting ALD research on
process optimization of low vapor pressure precursors and growth of low
resistivity TiN from metal-organic precursors.

Cambridge NanoTech Joins Stanford University’s Center for Integrated Systems for Industrial & Academic Research

June 16, 2010 By vani Leave a Comment

CAMBRIDGE, MA, Jun 15 (MARKET WIRE) —
Cambridge NanoTech, the world leader in Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD)
science and equipment, today announced that they have partnered with
Stanford University’s Center for Integrated Systems (CIS), a partnership
between academia and industry that supports leading edge research into
semiconductor and advanced electronics. In addition, Stanford University
is now outfitted with five Cambridge NanoTech ALD systems.

“Cambridge NanoTech is honored to collaborate with Stanford on developing
world-class research and real-world applications,” said Ganesh Sundaram,
Cambridge NanoTech VP of Technology. “We are excited to bring together
forward-thinking researchers with access to all the resources and support
needed to advance ALD research to the next level.”

Stanford has three Cambridge NanoTech Savannah thermal ALD systems
installed and most recently acquired a Fiji F202 dual chamber plasma ALD
system. The latest Savannah and Fiji systems are being used in the
Stanford Nanofabrication Facility (SNF) to fabricate ultra-thin
nanomechanical switches. Researchers also have been using the Savannah to
explore materials with electrical properties and low surface energies
such as Titanium Nitride and Tungsten.

“Stanford was our first Savannah customer in 2004,” said Jill Becker,
Founder of Cambridge NanoTech. “I’m very pleased to have worked so
closely with them the last several years and to further develop our
relationship by joining the cutting-edge research efforts at CIS.”

Cambridge NanoTech’s Fiji F202 plasma ALD system at the SNF will be used
to grow oxide and nitride films in one of the Fiji chambers and the
second Fiji chamber will be available for more exotic possibilities such
as working with gold, nanotubes, and graphene.

As one of the 14 National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN)
sites, the SNF offers extensive support in nanoscale fabrication,
synthesis, characterization, modeling, design, computation and training
in an open, hands-on environment, available to all qualified users.
Cambridge NanoTech currently has ALD tools installed in nearly half of
all NNIN sites.

Cambridge NanoTech will be attending the ALD 2010 conference in Seoul,
South Korea during the week of June 22, where our scientists will present
ALD research on process optimization of low vapor pressure precursors and
growth of low resistivity TiN from metal-organic precursors.

‘NanoPen’ may revolutionise electronics sector, medical diagnostic tests

September 3, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Washington, September 3 (ANI): A team of scientists in California have announced the creation of a ‘NanoPen’ that can simplify the method of laying down patterns of nanoparticles-from wires to circuits-for making futuristic electronic devices, medical diagnostic tests, and other much-anticipated nanotech applications.

Writing about their work in ACS’ Nano Letters, Ming Wu and colleagues point out that researchers have already developed several different techniques for producing patterns of nanoparticles, which are barely 1/50,000th the width of a human hair.

However, the researchers add, current techniques tend to be too complex and slow because they require bulky instrumentation and take minutes or even hours to complete.

The researcher further point out that these techniques also require the use of very high temperatures to apply the nanostructures to their target surfaces.

According to them, such limitations prevent widespread application of these techniques.

They claim that their NanoPen can solve all these problems.

The researchers have used the novel device in their lab to deposit various nanoparticles into specific patterns in the presence of relatively low light and temperature intensities.

They say that the process, which requires the use of special “photoconductive” surfaces, takes only seconds to complete with their NanoPen.

They further state that manufacturers can adjust the size and density of the patterns by adjusting the voltage, light intensity, and exposure time applied during the process. (ANI)

Tattoos with glucose-monitoring ink may help control diabetes

February 13, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Washington, February 13 (ANI): Massachusetts-based Draper Laboratories is trying to develop a special tattoo ink that changes colour based on glucose levels inside the skin.

Nanotechnology researchers associated with the project believe that the injectable ink may one day prove helpful in freeing diabetics from painful blood glucose tests.

“It doesn’t have to be a large, over-the-shoulder kind of tattoo. It would only have to be a few millimeters in size and wouldn’t have to go as deep as a normal tattoo,” Discovery News quoted Heather Clark, a scientist at Draper, as saying.

She has revealed that her team did not actually set out to create a glucose-detecting ink.

“At first I didn’t even think it was possible,” she said.

Heather revealed that she and her colleagues originally created a sodium-sensitive ink to monitor heart health, advancing basic knowledge of electrolytes in the body, or to ensure athletes are properly hydrated.

She said that it was only after talking to a colleague that she decided to give glucose detection a try, and started with the basic three-part system to detect sodium and modified to detect glucose.

The nano ink particles are tiny, squishy spheres about 120 nanometers across, inside which are three parts: the glucose detecting molecule, a colour-changing dye, and another molecule that mimics glucose.

Heather says that the particles look like food colouring when dissolved in water.

According to her, the three parts continuously move around inside the hydrophobic orb.

Upon approaching the surface, she says, the glucose detecting molecule either grabs a molecule of glucose or the mimicking molecule.

If the molecules mostly latch onto glucose, the ink appears yellow. If glucose levels are low, the molecule latches onto the glucose mimic, turning the ink purple. A healthy level of glucose has a “funny orangey,” colour.

According to Heather, the sampling process repeats itself every few milliseconds.

She says that even if there is a significant lag time between blood and skin glucose levels, a small tattoo would let diabetics know if an abnormally high or low reading was either returning to a normal level or getting worse.

She has revealed that the testing of the glucose monitoring nanotech ink in mice could begin by the end of this month, and human testing may have to wait for at least two years.

Robert Rubin, a professor at Harvard Medical School, is excited by Clark’s work at Draper.

“This will give me a great short cut for understanding what is happening inside the body,” said Rubin. (ANI)
