Carl Zeiss SMT to Open NA HQ

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Carl Zeiss SMT AG, a maker of scanning and transmission electron beam systems for nanotechnology, life sciences, material analysis and semiconductor applications, said it will mark the official opening of its new North American headquarters tomorrow with a "nano" ribbon-cutting ceremony. The company's headquarters at One Corporation Way in Peabody, Mass., features a manufacturing center for production of its Orion helium-ion microscope and the Carl Zeiss Nano Solutions Center Peabody, an applications lab and demo center for its instruments. Carl Zeiss SMT moved to the facility in July 2007...Read full article

    Glossary
    electron beam
    A stream of electrons emitted by a single source that move in the same direction and at the same speed.
    lithography
    Lithography is a key process used in microfabrication and semiconductor manufacturing to create intricate patterns on the surface of substrates, typically silicon wafers. It involves the transfer of a desired pattern onto a photosensitive material called a resist, which is coated onto the substrate. The resist is then selectively exposed to light or other radiation using a mask or reticle that contains the pattern of interest. The lithography process can be broadly categorized into several...
    microscope
    An instrument consisting essentially of a tube 160 mm long, with an objective lens at the distant end and an eyepiece at the near end. The objective forms a real aerial image of the object in the focal plane of the eyepiece where it is observed by the eye. The overall magnifying power is equal to the linear magnification of the objective multiplied by the magnifying power of the eyepiece. The eyepiece can be replaced by a film to photograph the primary image, or a positive or negative relay...
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    nanotechnology
    The use of atoms, molecules and molecular-scale structures to enhance existing technology and develop new materials and devices. The goal of this technology is to manipulate atomic and molecular particles to create devices that are thousands of times smaller and faster than those of the current microtechnologies.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
