PVD Products ships its second reel-to-reel coated conductor machine to Japan. This system has been used to grow tapes that were 212 m long with current carrying capability of ~250 amps.
PVD Products has just shipped their first two Nano PLD systems. We announced the Nano PLD system in November of 2002. The Nano PLD systems are geared toward University users and have many of the features of the PLD 3000 and PLD 5000 systems. PVD Products currently has a back log of two more Nano PLD systems and expects to ship at least six Nano PLD systems in 2003.
PVD Products is pleased to announce Steve Abush of ARS Associates as our representative covering the Mid Atlantic states including NY, NJ, PA, DE, DC, MD, VA, and NC.
PVD Products has been awarded a Phase I SBIR program to develop techniques to deposit thin film polymer coatings on Surface Acoustic Wave devices for chemical sensor applications. Under this program PVD Products will design a large area Matrix Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation (MAPLE) tool for coating SAW devices. PVD is working with the Naval Research Labs on this project.
