About

Durham University awarded a contract to Kurt J Lesker Company Limited for the purchase of a vacuum deposition tool to enable complex multilayer OLED fabrication and encapsulation.

The tool includes a glovebox-integrated full fabrication system, co-evaporation capability for three different materials, a sample shutter system/wedge tool for layer thickness control, multiple substrate masks, substrate rotation, a mixture of deposition crucibles and an e-beam source, and an optional small substrate transfer anti-chamber to the main deposition chamber.

The contract is for the sole use of Durham University, with a contract value of AUD 324,430.

The contract period is determined by the length of warranty purchased; if no additional warranty is purchased, it starts at purchase order issuance and ends after the standard warranty period from commissioning.
