December 2, 2009... During the third quarter of 2009, Spanish Institute, Centro Nacional de Microelectrónica (CNM), based in Barcelona, Spain reportedly ordered Aixtron's Black Magic CNT system in the 4 inch wafer configuration. The Aixtron support team is expected to perform the system installation during the fourth quarter of 2009. The institute indicated that the Black Magic tool will be used to produce CNT for various devices in development including biosensors, gas sensors, NEMS, FET circuitry, AFM probes, energy harvesting devices, low resistivity interconnections/contacts and thermal management materials.

Dr. Philippe Godignon, Grupo de Aplicaciones Biomédicas (GAB), Centro de Investigación Nacional en Red en Bioingeniería, Biomateriales y Nanomedicina (CIBER-BBN), commented, "The Black Magic tool will complete our micro-nanotechnology facilities installed in our 2,500 m2 clean room, alongside state-of-the-art equipment such as e-beam, FIB, AFMs, nanoimprints, and CVD furnaces as well as a full CMOS/VDMOS fabrication line which are currently used to develop next generation micro/nano devices in the fields of biomedicine, environment, food, security, energy and transportation applications.” Aixtron News Release
