R&DPilotProductionCustomHigh Temperature 2" Wafer Annealer • From Design to Production

Structured Materials Industries, Inc. offers a full line of MOCVD and CVD (SpinCVD™) system technologies for sale, ranging from R&D scale to Pilot to Production. The reactors are designed in such a way that processes can easily be scaled-up to larger reactors once the processes have been qualified. Supporting all SMI designs and assemblies are state of the art Modeling and three dimensional (Solid Works™) pre-construction engineering design (See the Design and Modeling sections). SMI has also recently added static and tape drive CVD tools to its product list. SMI also custom designs for or to customer specifications and application needs. SMI systems provide complete solutions:

Deposition Reactor module
Gas & Vapor Delivery module
Exhaust module
Process Control module
Electronics module
Frames, Utilities and Integration

SMI also provides CVD system kits and components (as described in the component section).

Shown above is a photograph of the SMI SpinCVD™ R&D tool. This tool is applicable to oxides and other material systems.

SpinCVDHigh Temperature Tool
This tool is capable of growing thru 1600°C. Operation for metals and various compound semiconductors. This tool is especially important to growers who are interested in Gallium-nitride and Silicon-carbide growth.
Tape/Wire/Web Coating Systems
SMI has a linear coating system with an area of 1" x 11" to 4" x 22" with user-configurable tape speed. It consists of multiple zones for concurrent deposition; pre-and post treatments. These systems are also available with plasma and UV enhancements.
Research and Development Reactor

SMI offers CVDMicro® and CVDLite® in the research series of its reactors. These scaleable reactors are optimum for research institutes and universities. These are part of the low cost solution for material research. These reactors are capable of deposition from 1-2" substrate to 3-2" substrates (larger systems may also be used for R&D. SMI offers various wafer carrier designs to accommodate researcher’s needs. Height adjustable showerhead versions are available and supported with a streamlined gas panel.

Special and Custom Systems

At SMI, we pride ourselves in accommodating any customer specific reactor needs. We are also able to enhance our reactors with Plasma and UV for different deposition modes. SMI is capable of configuring the reactors for complex geometry coatings and also capable of researching alternative heating systems.

Static, Plasma Enhanced and Height Adjustable Showerhead Systems
SMI offers a line of static (non-rotating) CVD reactors. These systems are ideal for researchers investigating plasma enhanced processes and new chemistries. Reactors supporting 4”, 6”, 8” and 12” diameter wafers are available. Height adjustable showerheads are also an option in these systems.

Conformal Large Shape Coating Tools are also available
SMI also offers conformal large shape coating tools for Optical, Tribological, and other CVD applications.
