About

University of Northumbria at Newcastle awarded a contract to Kurt J Lesker Company for the supply of a dual chamber magnetron sputtering system with an interconnecting load lock, valued at £1,055,800.

The system is intended to establish the Thin Film Sputtering Fabrication Facility (TF-FAB), providing a platform for researchers to develop inorganic thin films for energy materials, biocompatible and functional coatings.

The facility supports growth in thin film research at the university and aims to create collaborative opportunities between academia and industry.

The system is designed for maximum flexibility and upgradability, with one chamber geared towards oxide and compound materials and the other towards metals, including diamond-like carbon coatings and titanium-based alloys.
