Ion Implantation

Low energy ion implantation facility for doping and surface modification.

Low energy ion implantation facility for doping and surface modification.

We provide Ion Beam implantation services for researchers using single, interlinked (2 different ion species simultaneously) or in-situ ion implanters (combined ion implantation, RBS and electron beam annealing).

We have specialised equipment to ion implant any solid material with elements and isotopes with experimental- and industrial-scale equipment available. Temperature range: -150 C to 1200 C.

We provided verification using ion beam analysis.
