SVT Associates, Inc. (SVTA) is a manufacturer of Molecular Beam Epitaxy systems (MBE), Atomic Layer Deposition equipment (ALD), and Thin Film Deposition tools for both R&D and production environments. SVT Associates provides solutions in thin film technology, spanning electronics, photonics, coatings and renewable energy and other applications. The firm also manufactures deposition sources used in applying Thin Film Photo Voltaic layers, for both development as well as linear and large area sources used in pilot production and production. Additionally, they produce Custom UHV systems, often with multiple chambers and unique requirements for sample handling and processing or analysis. Ultra High Vacuum deposition systems with demanding vacuum requirements to provide the purest deposited thin films and the cleanest interfaces is their specialty. They produce not only the systems, but also custom deposition sources, process monitoring tools, and other components to meet customers requirements. SVT Associates' Laboratory offers thin film epitaxial and process development services, as well as contract research. SVT Associates has demonstrated exciting new application areas for Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), using the characteristics of ALD to create effective barrier layers using very thin deposits.
