News: Suppliers 29 October 2024 Ohio State University orders Veeco GENxcel R&D MBE system Epitaxial deposition and process equipment maker Veeco Instruments Inc of Plainview, NY, USA has received an order from the Ohio State University’s Krishna Infrared Detectors (KIND) Laboratory for a GENxcel R&D molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system, to be used for epitaxial growth of gallium antimonide (GaSb) for infrared (IR) detectors for consumer, automotive, defense and industrial applications. “This will enable us to grow high-quality antimonide semiconductor material to explore novel device physics and train the next generation of students with advanced semiconductor skills,” says professor Sanjay Krishna, who leads the KIND Laboratory. According to a report from MarketsandMarkets, which states the market, the infrared detector market is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7% from $535m in 2023 to $731m by 2028, driven by increasing demand for security and surveillance systems, the adoption of IR devices in industrial automation and manufacturing processes, and high penetration of IR devices in non-contact temperature measurement, gas analysis, astronomy, and fire detection applications.

“We are honored to have been selected by Dr. Krishna and his research team at Ohio State University,” commented “Dr Krishna’s deep expertise in this field promises to advance the industry’s understanding of these materials, paving the way for new technological developments,” comments Matthew Marek, senior director of marketing for Veeco’s MBE Group. “Partnering with such a distinguished researcher enhances our commitment to driving impactful material science innovations,” he adds.



“We look forward to continued collaboration with Dr Krishna and his team.” See related items: Veeco receives first order for new GENxcel MBE system Tags: Veeco MBE Visit: imr.osu.
