A team of ZEISS, Trumpf and Fraunhofer experts made a significant contribution to the development and industrial maturity of the EUV technology and has now been honored for this.

We congratulate our customer ZEISS together with Trumpf and Fraunhofer experts on being awarded for the “Deutscher Zukunftspreis” (German Future Prize) 2020 for their project » EUV Lithography - New Light for the Digital Age« .

Unfortunately, the current situation did not allow us to meet with all our sales partners in person as we have done in the past years. Nevertheless, we wanted to stay in contact and share our latest developments and product achievements. Thankfully, we found a way to bring us all together!

A big THANK YOU to the whole team for your time and efforts!

On September 25th, during the “Spätschicht”-event (engl. late shift) organized by the Industriekultur Chemnitz, a total of 24 visitors were able to have a look at our clean rooms, talk to employees and get to know our systems. Our guests did not only gain a small insight into the exciting application options of ion beam and plasma technologies, ...

Last Friday we finally celebrated our topping-out ceremony together with OBAG. Despite distance rules it was a very nice celebration, where our employees and business partners could already get a first impression of our new location.

The IEEE IFCS-ISAF 2020 Conference took place virtually this year. Although we couldn't join in person, we are still proud to support this event as Gold Patron and contribute a video of our sales director Marcel Demmler.

scia Systems gladly announces the purchase of an ion beam milling system scia Mill 150 by Imperial College London – the world top ten university.

The scia Mill 150 will be located at the Michael Uren Biomedical Engineering Research Hub, specifically in the Sir Henry Royce Institute where world leading academics work closely together with industry on the commercialization of fundamental materials research. The Centre focusses on Atoms 2 Devices (A2D) research in functional materials and devices which are core components in key areas such as energy, communications and healthcare.

The scia Mill 150 will be used for top-down fabrication of devices and patterned structures. In conjunction with various lithography techniques available in the laboratory, the scia Mill 150 will be expected to enable a range of materials to be patterned on a micro-and nano-scale.

Together with 30 project partners from 8 European countries scia Systems is cooperating for more than 3 years on the HiPERFORM-project. The project should pave the way for a decarbonized transport system, with reliable and energy efficient drivetrains. During the first year scia Systems equipped a sputtering chamber with a heated substrate holder by which the required substrate temperature of 800 °C was reached during sputtering. The chamber was transferred to Fraunhofer FEP, where the installation has been finished in year two. Now the system is processing first epi-AlN layers.

scia Systems awarded the contract of a magnetron sputter system for the Institute of Ion Beam Physics and Materials Research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR). The fully automated magnetron sputtering system, for the deposition of GMR and TMR based multilayer coatings, convinces with a very good homogeneity and reproducibility of the multilayer stack over 300 mm diameter...

In February 2020 scia Systems carried out a detailed study of final surface polishing for TMT International Observatory, LLC. The ion beam figuring (IBF) of the 1.4 m large TMT mirror segment prototype was performed on a scia Finish 1500 IBF system.

scia Systems delivers two scia Finish 1500 to Safran Reosc in Poitiers, France. The systems are used for final polishing error correction of the hexagonal segments of the primary mirror for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) from the European Southern Observatory (ESO).
