A spin off from the University of Buffalo, AMPB-Tech has developed a method to form a variety of thin films for electronic and industrial applications. AMBP has focused on designing and building a LAMBD turnkey system. LAMBD stands for Laser-Assisted Molecular-Beam Deposition and is used to create uniform, high-purity thin films from 50 angstroms to 1 micron thick. These films have been shown to outperform films deposited by other techniques such as sputtering due to the nanocrystalline nature of the films deposited. Applications demonstrated thus far include tungsten trioxide electrochromic films and Zinc Oxide thin film transistors. There are many other potential applications including dielectrics (high and low) for the integrated circuit industry as well as nanocrystalline thin films for other niche markets such as solar cells and superconductors. AMBP Techs patented LAMBD & PAMBD deposition technologies are uniquely suited to deposit films or nano particles of complex materials such as oxides, nitrides, fluorides and many other materials onto a substrate held at room temperature.
