Bergen University Chooses Plasma-Therm’s 790+ for Nano-fabrication Facility
THE University of Bergen’s system addition to their facility will assist in the development of free-standing Fresnel zoneplates for neutral helium microscopes.
The 790+ RIE equipment will also support the universities work on biophysics experiments in surface engineering and nano-science experiments to test optical and magnetic properties of nanostructures. “As we move forward with the reach of our experiments, we are constantly searching for reliable, flexible tools that support us in our research and help us push the limits of nano-science. The 790+ system is one of the tools we are using to define the future of
nanotechnologies,” said Professor Bodil Holst, Nanoscience Programme Leader at the University of Bergen’s Department of Physics and Technology.
The 790+ RIE provides a flexible technical solution for etching the variety of structures and materials required for advanced research. Simple operation coupled with manual loading on a large electrode addresses the multiple needs of a university operating environment where different substrate sizes and shapes in addition to ease of use by multiple users is key. “Based on the well proven 790 platform, the newly improved 790+ continues to supply
Cree Products To Be Used In ‘ World’s First’ All-LED Home
Cree and Habitat for Humanity of Durham have kicked off the construction on the world’s first Habitat for Humanity house to be lit with all LED (light-emitting diode) lighting fixtures.
Durham-based LED manufacturer Cree is sponsoring the construction of this home, with Cree employees assisting as volunteers on the project. The home will include Cree’s newest LED downlight, the CR6 downlight, as well as other LED products featuring Cree LEDs. The LED lighting in this house is projected to save approximately $250 worth of electricity costs per year over traditional lighting.
The LED lighting in the new Durham home, located at 1015 Moreland Avenue, is part of Cree’s previously announced three-year, $1.5 million pledge to provide its high- efficiency LED downlights for all new Habitat homes built in the U.S. The house is expected to be completed by October.
“At Cree, we strive to provide consumers and businesses with cost-saving and energy-efficient LED lighting products to help ease the burden of rising energy
reliable and sophisticated technology for many applications including those at the nanoscale level. The increased area of the 790+ electrode increases uniformity and throughput while maintaining affordability for both university and production settings” said Ed Ostan, executive VP of sales & marketing at Plasma-Therm.
Plasma-Therm, founded in 1974, is a supplier of advanced plasma process equipment that focuses on various specialty markets including photomask, solid state lighting, thin film head and compound semiconductor. Plasma-Therm offers both dry etch & PECVD technologies custom built to meet rapidly changing research needs and the demands of production. The company has sales, service and spares locations throughout North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
costs,” said Chuck Swoboda, Cree chairman and CEO. “We’re pleased to further our partnership with Habitat for Humanity by supplying LED lights to its U.S. homes and to personally be involved in building this particular home, as it benefits one of our hometown families.”
“Habitat for Humanity of Durham recognizes the benefits associated with LED lighting and sees this home as the ideal way to continue our goal of building affordable and sustainable housing for Habitat partner families,” said Miguel Rubiera, executive director, Habitat for Humanity of Durham. “We thank Cree for not only providing lighting, but for helping our homeowners save money on their electric bill.”
The University of Bergen, located in Bergen, Norway, is a research university with a high international profile that is committed to academic and research excellence.
The university emphasizes basic research, research-based teaching and the development of academic disciplines. The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences is one of six faculties at the University of Bergen and has around 2700 students.
The Faculty consists of eight departments, including the Department of Physics and Technology, which provide the foundations for its teaching and research activities.
