Duke University Orders GEN II MBE System From Veeco-Applied Epi for Nitride Research.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers WOODBURY, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 28, 2002 Duke University has ordered a GEN II(TM) molecular beam epitaxy A technique that "grows" atomic-sized layers on a chip rather than creating layers by diffusion. (MBE MBE (in Britain) Member of the Order of the British Empire MBE n abbr (BRIT) (= Member of the Order of the British Empire) → título ceremonial MBE n abbr (Brit) (= ) system from Veeco-Applied Epi. Duke will use the GEN II for gallium nitride-based research. Gallium nitride-based devices are being developed for a range of high-power wireless applications, including military radar and commercial base station power amplifiers, as well as for visible and ultraviolet optical applications. "We're excited that Duke chose our GEN II MBE system," said Marlin Braun, General Manager, Veeco-Applied Epi. "We have vast experience in gallium nitride MBE as evidenced by our effusion effusion /ef·fu·sion/ (e-fu´zhun) 1. escape of a fluid into a part; exudation or transudation. 2. effused material; an exudate or transudate. cell sources and the GEN II system's demonstrated excellent performance. Also, our new Process Integration Center (PIC) presents a great opportunity for collaborative research with Duke." Veeco Applied-Epi's PIC will enable emerging device researchers and manufacturers to develop process and tool solutions together, enabling a more rapid ramp-up of devices from lab to full-scale, high-volume production. With more than 220 operational systems worldwide, the GEN II is the MBE industry's single-wafer standard system for R&D. It holds numerous GaAs and AlGaAs performance records, and is leading system for the development of emerging gallium nitride devices. Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering in Durham, NC is recognized as one of the leading engineering schools in the United States. It focuses on strategic initiatives in Photonics and Communications, Materials Engineering and Material Systems, and Bioengineering bioengineering Application of engineering principles and equipment to biology and medicine. It includes the development and fabrication of life-support systems for underwater and space exploration, devices for medical treatment (see , all working in an interdisciplinary collaborative environment.
