Combinatorial thin-film synthesis and automated property characterization across hundreds of compositions in a single campaign.
Create your custom material solution.
Material Screening | Accelerated Material Prototyping | Coating Solutions
We create alloys and thin-film materials. Depositing real, physical thin-film samples across a continuous composition gradient on a single 100 mm wafer. One campaign produces 342 distinct compositions. Every point is characterized directly. The result is a complete composition-property map, not a model or calculation. Rather than evaluating one material at a time, your team can screen hundreds in a single run and focus on the candidates that matter.
Our customers are technology leaders who drive innovation. Materials are an integral part of their products. Finding the right material solution while developing superior products is a challenging task. Internal R&D teams are focused on key projects with limited capacity for material development.
Combinatorial co-sputtering: Up to 7 elements are deposited simultaneously via magnetron sputtering in a single run. DC, RF, pulsed DC, HiPIMS, and reactive sputtering (N2, O2) are all available, covering metals, alloys, nitrides, and oxides. The composition varies continuously across the wafer, producing a laterally resolved library of 342 unique thin-film compositions.
Multi-element and high-entropy systems: The platform was built for composition spaces too large to navigate sequentially. Core operating domains include transition metal nitrides, high-entropy alloys, and multi-component oxides. Transition metals and their combinations form the primary operational range of the system.
Initial study or multi-round campaign: A campaign can be a single exploratory study or a multi-round program. The first run maps a slice of the composition space. Subsequent campaigns use property data from earlier runs to direct focus toward the most informative regions.
From composition map to prototype: Once a campaign identifies target compositions, controlled uniform depositions on flat or structured substrates are available for downstream validation and prototyping. Scale-up to production is handled via established manufacturing partners.
You choose the elements; we create the physical material solution tailored to your specifications.
1. Material Screening: Finding optimum materials.
Our customers receive curated results from our data-driven screening that integrates experimental design, sample preparation and characterization in a streamlined workflow.
2. Accelerated Material Prototyping: Providing prototype samples.
Data generated under laboratory conditions is an ideal starting point for optimization, but the validation must take place under application conditions. We create coatings of almost any possible alloy both on flat and structured substrates.
3. Coating Solutions: Production scaled to your demand.
Once a material solution has been validated, the next step is the production at the scale your application requires. We collaborate with trusted manufacturing partners to deliver custom-coated materials for pilot-scale testing or industrial implementation.
Accelerated time to market: Find the right material in a fraction of the time without years of costly trial and error.
Application-oriented development: We go beyond theoretical predictions. Our material solutions are experimentally refined to perform under application conditions.
Developing a stable electrode with a protective coating for hydrogen production under harsh industrial conditions.
Accelerated material discovery: Reduced R&D cycles through high-throughput screening
Enhanced durability: Extended electrode lifetime for customers’ own commercial electrolyzer
Developing an advanced coating that blocks UV radiation while maintaining transparency and durability
Designing an alloy composition with structural stability, minimal weight and competitive cost
We are closing the gap between R&D and manufacturing and deliver material prototypes in the form, size, and quantity your process demands.
Your materials will be tested under application conditions. With established supply chains, we ensure a smooth transition from prototype to large-scale production.
