Svaya brings molecular layer deposition to an industrial scale. We at Svaya believe that while molecular layer deposition has enabled many of the products that enrich our lives, including high definition displays, touch screens, dynamic windows and many more, the economic and capacity limitations have restricted adoption of this powerful technology. Svaya is fundamentally changing the tradeoff equation by deploying a breakthrough technology for molecular layer deposition that leverages the power of self-assembly for large area applications at industrial manufacturing speeds.

Beneq is a leading supplier of production and research equipment for thin film ALD and aerosol coatings, as well as the world’s premier manufacturer of thin film electroluminescent (TFEL) displays.

Beneq equipment is used for applying coatings in solar photovoltaics, flexible electronics, strengthened glass and other emerging thin film applications. Beneq has introduced several revolutionary innovations in its coating technologies, including roll-to-roll atomic layer deposition (ALD) and high-yield atmospheric aerosol coating (nAERO®).

Silicon Nano-materials Research & Development for Lighting

Phosphors used in lighting and display solutions are mostly derived from rare-earth elements (REEs), which is an environmental hazard to extract and process. Furthermore, persistently elevated prices since 2010 and IP restrictions on LED applications by major players have driven the lighting industry to seek alternatives for REE-phosphors.

LumiSands offers a cost-effective, non-toxic, and eco-friendly option for REE-phosphors with our patent-pending silicon quantum dot phosphor (SiQD-phosphor) technology.

For Bosch, materials innovation, new process and production techniques and interpretation methodologies are highly relevant for the future. They pave the way for innovative and cost-effective future products. Customised functional and structural materials play a key role in this connection, such as in injection technology, wind power transmissions, composite materials for functional integration in sensors or materials for electric power storage and conversion.

Nano Engineered Applications, Inc. (NEA) is focused on commercializing patent pending, air-borne chemical detection technology. With NEA’s cost-effective and scalable fabrication techniques, this research advancement can be transformed into portable devices that detect minute quantities of harmful air-borne substances.

NEA concentrates on addressing the critical chemical and gas-detection needs of a broad spectrum of global industries:

The FabLab is a Class 1000 research cleanroom located in the Jeong H. Kim Engineering Building. The lab supports research and development programs in nano science and technology, micro-electromechanical systems, semiconductors, materials and devices for electronics, bioscience and bioengineering, and sensor/actuator systems. FabLab is open to users from across the university community. We also strongly encourage users from area companies, other universities and government labs to take advantage of our cutting edge facility and equipment. All are welcome.

Maryland NanoCenter has been established as a partnership between two University of Maryland colleges: The A. James Clark School of Engineering and The College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences (CMNS, formerly The College of Computer, Mathematical and Physical Sciences and The College of Chemical and Life Sciences) with sustaining support from the campus.

Our mission is to support the fabrication, synthesis, and characterization of nanoscale devices and materials for both academic and industrial users. We are also charged with providing hands-on training in nanotechnology processes to all qualified users.

The Nanofabrication Center is part of the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN), a group of fourteen nanotechnology labs located around the country and supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF). These labs represent part of the NSF’s substantial investment in nanotechnology research and training.
