COLLABORATION TO ACCELERATE INNOVATION

 

Our Network

We are part of a close network of academics, researchers, government organizations, commercial partners and entrepreneurs who are shaping the future together.

Broad and Deep Capabilities

We maintain one of the broadest and deepest portfolios of technologies in the industry to create and modify materials—shaping their electrical, physical, mechanical, and optical properties. Through highly sophisticated methods of deposition, removal, modification, and analysis, we manipulate materials at an atomic level on an industrial scale.
