Legacy MOCVD systems from Emcore, Veeco, Thomas Swan and Aixtron proved themselves as highly capable R&D platforms through the 2000’s. Though many of these aging systems are still operating despite limited or no OEM support, many components have become obsolete and require upgrades to extend the system’s productive lifetime. Agnitron’s refurbishment and upgrade services add new capabilities bringing state-of-the-art and economical MOCVD capabilities to researchers today.

We don’t select equipment for refurbishment and upgrade if we don’t know its history and have confidence it will meet a customer’s needs. We are just as adept in material science and process engineering as we are in equipment engineering so, trust us, we understand how past use of equipment can impact its future performance and when the right time is to replace a component rather than reuse it. Details of the refurbishment process are reviewed with customers on a case by case basis.
At Agnitron we have worked with these Legacy systems since the start and are experts at returning them to OEM specification.
- Standard and optional upgrades add new capabilities for researchers and make these proven platforms state-of-the-art by today’s standards
- Parts and service support from top to bottom assures this economical choice will be supported for the life of the system
- Our experience designing, building and supporting OEM equipment enables customization of these systems to suit unique process requirements, use special precursors, or even for conversion to deposit new material sets.
