FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 11, 2013, Eden Prairie, MN

 

Agnitron Technology, Inc. announced today the receipt of order from the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) for a Gallium Nitride (GaN) MOCVD system. The R&D scale platform will be delivered with a number of upgrades from its standard configuration such as gas panel improvements, the latest in-situ metrology capabilities, as well as Agnitron’s proprietary IMPERIUM-MOCVD™ Control Software and Automation. The order was placed by NRL after an open bid and competitive selection process.

Included in the system configuration is an advanced kSA ICE (Integrated Control for Epitaxy) in-situ temperature and reflectance measurement tool provided by k-Space and Associates, Inc. of Dexter, Michigan. The kSA ICE system uses an integrated optics design and high speed electronics tailored for real-time MOCVD process monitoring and provides patented blackbody temperature measurement and reflectance data for film growth analysis.  The kSA system is also upgradeable to curvature, stress, and bow measurement capabilities via its modular design.  Features in Agnitron’s IMPERIUM-MOCVD™ Control Software and Automation enable feedback of k-Space tool temperature, reflectance, and curvature data for integrated process control.
