Beneq and Mordovia State University Open ALD Laboratory
VANTAA, Finland - Mordovia State University has opened a laboratory to research and study thin-film technologies (100 nm and less) using atomic layer deposition (ALD) with Beneq’s TFS 200 equipment. The laboratory opening is a next step in implementing the strategy to establish national nanotechnology in Russia and is possible because of the rapid technology development in synthesizing nanostructured materials using the ALD process.
During the official opening ceremony, Mordovia State University, Saransk, Mordovia State, Russia, and Beneq, Vantaa, Finland, signed an agreement for long-term cooperation in the field of thin-film technologies. With its scientific competence and strong academics, Mordovia State University is moving from theoretical research into implementing practical research and development of innovative products based on ALD technology. This is due in large part to the close collaboration the university has had with Beneq, a leading supplier of production and research equipment for ALD and aerosol coatings and a manufacturer of thin-film electroluminescent (TFEL) displays.
