CVD Files Provisional Patents for CVD Graphene Scale-Up
CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y., (Business Wire) – January 9, 2014 – (NASDAQ: CVV – News) CVD Equipment Corporation (“CVD”), a leading provider of custom chemical vapor deposition systems, today announced that it has filed provisional patents covering production of larger size and higher quality CVD graphene in increased quantity and at a lower cost.
Leonard A. Rosenbaum, President and CEO of CVD stated, “Our customers asked us to provide solutions enabling them to manufacture larger size, increased quantity and better quality CVD graphene films at reduced costs to enable commercialization of their intellectual property (IP) graphene applications. We are pleased to report that we have developed classes of solutions that address these needs and can be tailored for different graphene applications. Benefits of our IP for a given CVD process tube include capacity increase and size scale-up of graphene production. EasyTube® CVD graphene systems, capable of processing up to 200 or 300 mm single substrates (depending upon the platform), incorporating selected embodiments of our now patent pending IP will be shipping in Q2-2014. Additional platforms are currently under development.”
Dr. Karlheinz Strobl, V.P. of Business Development of CVD noted: “Our 31 years of experience in IP development for custom CVD equipment enabled us to find a practical and scalable hardware solution with benefits that include widening the processing window for CVD graphene and other 2-dimensional CVD films.”
