Picosun opens new R&D laboratory16.04.2009 00:00
Picosun is an international equipment manufacturer, who specializes in ALD (Atomic layer disposition) for nano and micro technology applications. Based in Finland and having established itself in the US with the US headquarters being found in Detroit, Picosun has now opened a brand new laboratory, R&D and production facility in Kirkkonummi, which is just west of Helsinki.
Picosun will continue to utilize the facilities at VTT micronova, but it was the lure of exclusiveness that led them to the opening of the new facility as Sven Lindfors explains, "At the laboratory we have already installed reactors for our own use. Having exclusive access to a number of reactors is a big step forward for us and will, surely, lead to leaps in the technology and processes offered by Picosun. Having our own laboratory and R&D facilities allows us more freedom in experimenting with new and revolutionizing reactor designs and ALD processes". These new nanomaterials could revolutionise a wide range of new products. Flexible and durable solar cells, transparent electronics, more life-like displays, faster telecommunications, more compact and light batteries, more precise lasers for surgery or manufacturing, and even super-thin speakers are a few examples of the work that Picosun undertakes.
The opening points to a certain level of success that Picosun has worked for and achieved, building on other recent successes such as being recognized as one of three most promising nanotechnology companies within Finland.
The new building will hold purchasing, production, research and development and most deposition services.
