Carbon+™ Systems
Advanced Tools for Producing Carbon Nanomaterials and Carbon Composites
Our FirstNano CARBON+™ family of systems is engineered to produce high-quality carbon nanomaterials and carbon composite structures for use in many applications. Carbon nanotubes and graphene exhibit extraordinary mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. Our proven technology can grow these nanostructures and composites over a wide range of flow, temperature, and pressure conditions to meet and exceed the performance requirements of our customers. CVDE continues to advance the state-of-the-art in nanomaterial synthesis and production as part of its ongoing strategy of enabling tomorrow’s technologies™.
The Carbon+ systems include precursor gas and vapor control, CVD processing, and exhaust byproduct management in an integrated package. Our control systems use PLC logic and CVDWinPrC™ control software for recipe writing, data logging, and HMI control.
The base system includes a cylindrical quartz process tube which is configured for the required substrate size. A range of optional modules can be configured to meet the specific requirements of the end user. Many of the options are available as upgrades after installation.
The FirstNano product line is designed to meet today’s safety standards for handling pyrophoric, corrosive, flammable, and toxic gases such as hydrogen, hydrocarbon gases, silane, germane, diborane, hydrogen chloride, and metal-organic precursors.
The Carbon+ systems have an optional extended frame size to accommodate larger substrates and system options. These options include a glovebox, load lock, a rolling furnace for rapid heating and cooling, and an upstream RF plasma generator. The Carbon+ system can accommodate up to full 6” diameter wafers, larger substrate sizes are available upon request.
