Bruker AXS and Albany NanoTech enter into an Alliance in X-Ray Analysis.MADISON, Wis. and ALBANY, N.Y. -- Bruker AXS Bruker AXS is an international instrument manufacturer and supplier. The company is part of Bruker and specialized on Analytical X-Ray Systems. The main parts are the X-Ray diffraction and the X-Ray spectrometry. Inc., the global market leader for advanced X-ray diffraction solutions, and Albany NanoTech, one of the world's leading complexes for nanotechnology R&D and home to the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE CNSE Center for Neuromorphic Systems Engineering CNSE Commander Navy Support Element CNSE Certified Network Systems Engineer ) at the University at Albany - SUNY SUNY - State University of New York ,announced today that they entered into a cooperative agreement for X-ray characterization and metrology. Under this agreement, Bruker AXS will provide to Albany NanoTech its cutting-edge Diffraction Solution - the D8 DISCOVER for Wafers. This new tool allows the structural characterization of nanolayers from 0.1 to 1000 nm. Due to its revolutionary configuration, the D8 DISCOVER for Wafers can handle and characterize samples up to 300 mm with the highest precision and shortest measurement times - the best performance in the smallest floor space. Albany NanoTech will use the D8 DISCOVER for Wafers to analyze the next generation of semiconductor heterostructures Semiconductor heterostructures Structures consisting of two different semiconductor materials in junction contact, with unique electrical or electrooptical characteristics. and to develop new kinds of nanomaterials. Richard J. Matyi, Senior Scientist, Albany NanoTech and Professor of Nanoscience, CNSE, said, "The flexibility of the D8 DISCOVER enables us to investigate all different kinds of structural parameters. It allows us to optimize our innovative nanolayers with maximum speed and performance." Frank Burgaezy, Global Product Line Manager for Bruker AXS' XRD XRD X-Ray Diffraction XRD Crossroad XRD X-Ray Diode business, stated, "We chose Albany NanoTech for this project because of its extensive scientific experience in the field of semiconductors and thin film X-ray characterization. Cutting-edge applications and the diversity of materials at Albany NanoTech will fully utilize and push the capabilities of Bruker AXS' XRD solutions for the semiconductor industry." About Bruker AXS Bruker AXS Inc. is a worldwide leader in providing advanced X-ray systems and complete solutions for structure and elemental analysis Elemental analysis is a process where a sample of some material (e.g., soil, waste or drinking water, bodily fluids, minerals, chemical compounds) is analyzed for its elemental and sometimes isotopic composition. using X-ray diffraction, X-ray crystallography X-ray crystallography, the study of crystal structures through X-ray diffraction techniques. When an X-ray beam bombards a crystalline lattice in a given orientation, the beam is scattered in a definite manner characterized by the atomic structure of the lattice. and X-ray fluorescence techniques. X-ray diffraction provides researchers and process developers with the necessary information to design and optimize new materials for the semiconductor industry. In addition, the technique is used in industrial quality assurance of devices. For more information, visit www.bruker-axs.com. About Albany NanoTech One of the largest centers for nanotechnology research in the country, Albany NanoTech is home to the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) and the New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of State Center of Excellence in Nanoelectronics (NYSCEN) of the University at Albany-State University of New York There is no institution of higher education in the State of New York or the United States of America that bears the name University of New York. However, in confusion, it is possible that such a reference may regard the following: With over 65,000 square fee of Class 1 capable 300 mm wafer cleanrooms, as well as on-site faculty and student researchers, Albany NanoTech provides corporate partners with a unique environment to pioneer, develop, and test new nanoscience and nanoengineering innovations.
