EvoVac as Organic Evaporator

“It’s exciting that you can combine so many layers in organic semiconductors; you can often just go ahead and try things. Plus, you usually get some nice devices that emit light when creating OLEDs.” Says Angstrom partner Björn Lüssem. He’s an Assistant Professor of physics at Kent State University. He uses an Angstrom Engineering EvoVac evaporator to create organic devices.

“I had funding from my start-up to buy a vacuum deposition tool. Angstrom submitted a very organized and competitive proposal. In fact, I saved quite a bit compared to what budgeted for, which helped me get additional equipment that now helps me in my research.”

“I’m very satisfied (and was explicitly recommended Angstrom from other faculty in my field), in particular because of the good service and fast response of Angstrom staff.”

We’re proud to work with partners like Dr. Lüssem. He, along with other researchers and industrialists innovate, pulling future technologies into the present by utilizing the technology we work so hard to design and create.

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.
