Angstrom How-To Videos Launch

Providing our customers with legendary service is the heart of Angstrom Engineering’s philosophy. When you purchase a thin film system from us, you become our partner, and it is a relationship we take very seriously. Our partners continue to tell us that the reason they are so loyal and excited to purchase from us is because we never leave them hanging without the support they need, and go above and beyond what it expected.

Whether it’s honoring a warranty beyond expectation, providing added, time-intensive advice for specific process or material questions, or overnighting a package that will keep system downtime to an absolute minimum, our entire team is focused on doing absolutely everything possible for you, our partners. We even have a guarantee to respond to any questions or support requests within 24 hours, and we have heard from our partners many times that this has been essential to their success.

It is this philosophy that brings you our latest video series, entitled ‘Angstrom How-To’. We want to make it easy for you to perform common maintenance tasks that will ensure your lab equipment will have as little downtime as possible. While we introduce you to this video series with just three videos (Sputter Cathode Maintenance, Gauge cleaning, and rough pump oil change), it will grow to represent many of the most common questions and maintenance tasks our partners come across.

These videos will never replace a live expert who can answer questions and guide you through the steps in real-time, so we encourage you to give us a call any time if you would prefer that, but they will provide an immediate resource for you when and if you need them. We hope you find them beneficial.

Having arrived in Brazil, our partner’s logistics team takes the lead, taking it out of the wooden box so that it can fit through the door of the facility. The journey resulted in the standard small bumps and dents that are categorized and logged so that our installation team can quickly and effectively get the system up and running, which they do.

Finally, all that’s left to do is to fabricate some superconducting circuits, and further the field of quantum computing. Our partners at Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Fisicas (CBPF) expressed their excitement at having gained the capabilities  of partnering with us in this translated LinkedIn post:

 

It is with great enthusiasm that we announce the arrival of the newest equipment, from Angstrom Engineering, to the Quantum Technologies Laboratory of CBPF. This laboratory is complementary to Labnano, one of the strategic laboratories of SisNANO – the National System of Nanotechnology Laboratories of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI).

SisNANO is comprised of a set of laboratories focused on research, development and innovation (RD&I) in nanosciences and nanotechnologies, with the essential characteristic of being multi-user and open access to public and private institutions.

Acquired with funding from Finep and support from MCTI, the new equipment will allow CBPF to advance in the manufacture of superconducting quantum nanodevices, such as Josephson junctions and SQUIDS. These devices are essential for the development of future quantum chips, which promise to transform areas such as computing, secure communication and metrology.

The impact of this advance is also connected to related projects funded by FAPERJ, CNPq and Petrobras, consolidating a robust research ecosystem in Brazil.

This achievement reinforces the commitment of CBPF and MCTI to leading the frontier of scientific research, contributing to enabling the country to compete in a global scenario marked by disruptive and strategic advances.

We would like to thank the institutions involved and the professionals who made this achievement possible. We invite the scientific, technological and industrial community to closely monitor the transformative results that this new infrastructure will provide.
