Oxford
Instruments Plasma Technology (OIPT) has just received a 3 system order
from the prestigious new Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication (MCN) in Australia.
The systems, two Plasmalab® System100 ICP380 tools and a Plasmalab System100
PECVD system, have been bought as part of the Centre's programme to equip
their cleanrooms with state of the art instrumentation for nano and micro scale
fabrication.
Oxford Instruments has a reputation for working with and equipping many renowned
universities and research institutes throughout Europe and USA. That fact and
the flexibility of OIPT's tools were important criteria in MCN's
decision to choose OIPT as a strategic partner. The MCN is the Victorian node
of the Australian National Fabrication facility (ANFF), a collaborative initiative
between the Australian federal government, the Victorian state government, CSIRO
and major Victorian Universities.
MCN chose Oxford Instruments as the key provider for their etch, deposition
and growth tools as OIPT offer proven, flexible and reliable tools, coupled
with excellent global service and support. MCN's ultimate purpose is to
fill the gap in Australia for open access, multi-scale fabrication infrastructure,
spanning a range of fabrication environments and materials.
Sales Director for OIPT, Mark Vosloo said, ”OIPT prides itself in providing
top end systems for academic research and recently equipped new cleanroom facilities
for KAUST, Saudi Arabia, LBNL, USA and Southampton University, UK. We are delighted
that MCN has also chosen OIPT Plasmalab systems for their new research centre.”
