Products
STM lithography control system
Control system that converts a research-grade STM into an automated atomic-scale lithography tool for high-resolution patterning and dopant placement.
Real-time piezo creep and hysteresis correction controller
Signal conditioning and control algorithms to compensate piezo creep and hysteresis in STM systems, improving settling time and positional stability.
Tip fabrication and etching tool
Equipment and processes for producing and preparing STM tips with consistent structure for reliable atomic-scale imaging and patterning.
Miniature active implantable device prototypes (spin-off)
Ultra-miniature active implantable devices developed for neuromodulation and bioelectronic medicine via a spin-off engineering effort.
Miniature active bionic-eye implant (spin-off)
Active implantable bionic-eye device developed for treatment of retinal degenerative diseases; commercialized through a spin-off entity.
Rapid molecular diagnostics platform (spin-off)
Nano-chip and optical hybridization platform intended to detect microbial, viral and genomic biomarkers without PCR amplification.
