Iran-Made Layering Device Makes Creation of Nanostructures Possible for Industries
The desktop sputtering layering device is a special tool for creating a wide range of thin layers on different substrates.
Different materials can be placed on the surface with the help of the device, provided that the surface’s materials can withstand the conditions inside the device, including plasma and ion bombardment.
Any compound that can withstand the conditions of the device can be used as a substrate, and nanocomposites and nanoscale coatings can be created thanks to this technology.
The device can also be used to make all kinds of thin film sensors, solar cells and optical devices as well as nanoelectronic and microelectronic parts.
It can also be applied in preparation of the sample for use in an electron microscope.
Iran has made great achievements in nanotechnology.
Former Iranian Vice-President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari said earlier this year that some 270 companies are active in the nanotechnology field and it is predicted that their revenue will reach up to $310 million.
He added that currently, nanotech products are produced and marketed in more than 15 industrial fields based on domestic technologies and are being exported to 49 countries from five continents.
