PVD Products is growing, and adding to our team! We have several new positions available for junior, mid, and senior levels within the nanotechnology, machinery, semiconductor industries. We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer, Production Floor Supervisor, Mechanical Assembly Technician, and Final Test Engineer. And what better way to learn about our company than an open house? We’re opening our facility doors for those interested in working at PVD Products to learn about PVD’s process, tour the PVD facility, and discuss their career goals. Open House: A Career with PVD Products Date: Thursday, March 9, 2017 Time: 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM Address: 35 Upton Dr Suite 200, Wilmington, MA 01887

June 10th: The University of Leeds spins off a company based on technology developed in a PVD Products PLD/MBE-2100 system using a fs laser. The group at Leeds has developed a new technique called Ultrafast Laser Plasma Implantation (ULPI). The company plans to use ULPI in a wide variety unique applications. More can be learned at the Ultramatis web site http://www.ultramatis.com/ PVD Products wishes the group the best of luck in their future work!

May 15th, PVD Products receives order for PLD/MBE 2300 from Lebedev Institute in Russia.

April 15th: PVD Products books an order for an 8" Sputtering system. This system will include a rotating water cooled stage, loadlock and four 4" magnetrons. It will ship to a top university in China.

April 15th: Today PVD Products shipped 9,000 kg of unique thin film vacuum deposition equipment. This system includes four vacuum chambers with reel to reel transport, two large electron beam evaporation sources, two RF ion sources, and a high temperature substrate heater. All this built to deposit epitaxial buffer layers on 12 mm wide metal tape 1 km long in just 8 hours. This is the largest tool PVD has built to date! We just hope it fits on the plane!

March 15th: PVD Products has just received an order from Princeton University for a unique large-area Matrix Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation/Resonant IR PLE deposition system. This system will include a multiple targets, a tunable IR Laser with ns pulse lengths, loadlock, and handle substrates 3" x 3" Square. It will be used for the deposition of various polymer thin films.

PVD Products has just been awarded a contract from NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center for a custom electron beam evaporation unit. This system will deposit pure and highly uniform molybdenum films onto eight 100-mm diameter wafers in one run. The devices manufactured by NASA will be used in x-ray focal plane arrays and incorporated into the Athena X-ray Observatory. http://www.the-athena-x-ray-observatory.eu/

PVD Products is happy to announce that it has received a Purchase Order from the University of Delaware for three physical vapor deposition tools. These tools include two electron beam evaporation systems, both with GLADS type substrate holders, and a magnetron sputtering system with a high temperature heater, RF bias, and multiple deposition locations all within one chamber. These customized deposition systems will all be delivered to the University in Q3 of 2015 when their new nanofabrication facility, currently under construction, is complete.

PVD Products has received an order today for a production Reel-to-Reel Coated-Conductor tool. This multi-chamber deposition system will be used for the growth of amorphous and epitaxial oxide layers typically deposited onto Hasteloy metal tapes, 10 or 12-mm wide and 1-km long, prior to the deposition of the ReBCO materials.

PVD Products completes installation of MAPLE System with three Polymer/Solvent targets, 2” wafer holder, Er:YAG laser, and loadlock at the customer site. The dual wafer loadlock of this system is integrated with a customer supplied glove box for easy insertion and removal of polymer samples into a dry atmosphere.
