Common System Features
SMI Horizontal SpinCVD™ R&D Tool
SMI Horizontal SpinCVD™ R&D Tool
SMI Vertical SpinCVD™ R&D Tool
Structured Materials Industries, Inc. offers a full line of MOCVD, CVD, PECVD, FBCVD, and ALD system technologies including it’s signature SpinCVDTM use of RDR CVD tools for sale, ranging from R&D scale to Pilot to Production Systems. 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 also custom designs for its customers or to its customers specifications and application needs. SMI systems provide sectional solutions or complete solutions:
​
• Deposition Reactor module
• Gas & Vapor Supply, Gas Generators, Gas Purification Modules, and Vapor Delivery modules
• Process Control module
• Electronics module
• Frames, Utilities and Integration modules
• Exhaust module
• Abatement System Modules
• Safety Systems
SMI also provides CVD system kits and components (as described in the Component Section).
SpinCVD™ High Termperature Systems
This tool is capable of growing through 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 ones for concurrent deposition; pre-and post treatments. These systems are also available with plasma and UV enhancements.
Robotic Manual Transfer Systems
