We Are Your Expert Support Team, And We Want To Hear From You!

When one of our systems finds its way into your lab, we become partners, and we support our partners 100%. We have a team that includes engineers and scientists that are very experienced in all aspects of thin film and vacuum processes. We are eager to do whatever we can to improve your results, or to solve any issues you might be having.

Chris Nance has been our partner for just over 10 years, and had been having an issue with his gold deposition process when he decided to approach us about solutions. This is what he had to say after all was said and done:

Chris Nance, in front of his Angstrom evaporator.

“I just wanted to take a moment and write quick note thanking you for efforts resolving a contaminant issue in our gold deposition process. We’ve had our e-beam system designed and manufactured by Angstrom Engineering for about 10 years now, and I really appreciate the great service we’ve received all 10 years.

“This gold deposition issue has been something I’ve been working on for the whole 10 years, making little improvements in the film quality here and there. After asking questions and digging on your end, your suggestions eliminated the contamination issue. The films are absolutely beautiful. I wish I would have asked for help a long time ago. This improvement is expected to increase our production yields on many of our microchip designs by 5-10%, a significant amount. Thank You!”

Do you have a question about your process, or need some help getting better, more efficient thin films? Please get in touch, we want to do everything we can to help you make the most of your system.

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.
