FirstNano - Chemical Vapor Deposition Systems

South Dakota’s $20 million, five-year NSF EPSCoR Track-1 grant supports the acquisition of equipment for research and discovery-based learning activities. One of the amazing tools implemented through this grant is the FirstNano – Chemical Vapor Deposition Systems.


Features:

  • Hexagonal Boron Nitride – hBN CVD
    • Thermal CVD, Specimen sizes- up to 100 mm
    • 3 Zone Resistance Furnace (up to 1100 °C)
    • Low Pressure Operation (100 – 700 torr),
  • Graphene – GR CVD
    • Plasma Enhanced CVD, Specimens-up to 100 mm
    • RF Plasma 600 Watt, 13.56 MHz
    • Low Pressure (200 – 500 mTorr)
  • Training and Samples: Hands-on training is available for interested users.

Training & Samples:

Hands-on training available on long-term basis (6-10 months) for interested users due to complex nature of PLD operation. However, samples can be provided on short term basis (2 weeks).
