Oxford
Instruments is delighted to have received further orders from the newly
built King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia,
which was inaugurated on 23 September by King Abdullah. These orders are for
an Ionfab300 Plus, ion beam etch tool, and a second FlexAL® atomic layer
deposition tool, bringing the number of systems ordered from Oxford Instruments
to thirteen in total.
These tools will also equip KAUST’s Nanofabrication Core research facility,
and add to the initial order for key
Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology (OIPT) systems that included several Plasmalab®System100
tools for
RIE and ICP etch, and PECVD; and a FlexAL® atomic layer deposition tool.
Prof Tony Eastham, Director of Laboratories at KAUST comments, “As the
need for equipment in our new
Nanofabrication Core Lab increased, we decided to extend our order with Oxford
Instruments. The scope and
performance of OIPT tools for nano-material fabrication made them the natural
choice for our requirements
in etching, deposition and growth.”
Mark Vosloo, Sales Director for OIPT welcomes the latest orders, “Earlier
this year we were extremely pleased
to receive our first multiple-system order from KAUST University, and to be
involved with such a large and
important research institute from the start. This second order from KAUST confirms
that OIPT tools are the
systems of choice for this important Saudi Arabian facility, as well as our
other major customers worldwide.”
Oxford Instruments has extensive experience in supplying multi-system installations
to both the academic and
industrial sectors where the wide range and strength of process capabilities
offered make OIPT a natural
choice. With thirteen Oxford Instruments systems now being installed in the
KAUST research facility, the
company will have another prestigious showcase for its tools.
