Aachen/Germany, January 31, 2012 - AIXTRON SE today
announced that Nanyang Technological University, Singapore,
has procured an AIXTRON 2-inch Black Magic PECVD system.
NTU researchers will be using the system for the
preparation of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene for high
frequency electronic devices. The turnkey system was
installed and commissioned by the local AIXTRON service and
support team in the Nanoelectronics Laboratory, School of
Electrical and Electronic Engineering, NTU.
Prof. Beng Kang Tay, comments: "Our new project
involves the research and development of new types of
materials for high frequency electronics. In particular, we
plan to develop new interconnect and similar technologies
for these devices using structures based on CNT, graphene
and other carbon materials. These unique functional
materials have great promise for the manufacture of RF
electronic devices for advanced communications and
networks. As our work primarily focuses on the development
of latest applications and devices, we needed a system that
is flexible, reliable and ergonomic, whilst providing
simultaneously highest quality reproducible thin films. Our
stringent requirements stem from the fact that our work
demands the highest quality films 100% of the time. The
world-class Black Magic system meets all these criteria and
more."
Prof. Tay is currently the principle investigator of this
project. He has many years of experience in thin film
technology, especially in tetrahedral amorphous carbon,
nanocomposite carbon and CNT.
