Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the engineering of machines on a molecular scale—the projected ability to manufacture components, devices and complete products “from the bottom up” using techniques and tools being developed today to place every atom and molecule in a desired place.

Benefits of manufacturing with nanotechnology include:

• significant increases in material strength, durability and flexibility

• better built, longer lasting, cleaner, safer and smarter products

• increasing the efficiency of technology while lowering production costs and shrinking size 

While complex systems with precise molecular features are at an early stage, new techniques are constantly under development. Studies are focusing on how to develop practical technological systems and bring nanotechnology out of the lab and into the marketplace.

API is acquiring the facilities and talent to help our customers engineer the benefits offered by Nanotechnology into their future products. API is also actively pursuing partnerships with Government and customers to endeavor sophisticated nanotech research programs in addition to proprietary R&D in areas specific to the company's expertise.

With specific expertise in Thin Film and MEMS based Nanotechnology please contact API Nanotronics to help you forward your next generation research and development programs.

The global markets for nano materials, tools, and equipment for nanoelectronics totaled US $1.8 billion in 2005 and are forecast to reach $4.2 billion by the year 2010, according to a comprehensive market research report published in 2005 by the nanotechnology industry organization, SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International).
