Faraday Technology Inc is a wholly owned subsidiary of Physical Sciences Inc. - a firm that (arguably) is among the most prolific of those small firms involved in SBIR from its earliest days. Faraday specializes in the development of electrochemical technologies from laboratory feasibility to alpha-scale prototype demonstration to beta-scale validation. Faraday provides consulting services and customized, scalable solutions for specialized problems in edge and surface finishing, throughmask etching, industrial coatings, advanced electronic interconnects, monitoring and mitigation of corrosion, effluent recycle and recovery and power generation. Faraday is also able to provide custom electrochemical surface finishing services for evaluation. Faraday has a concentration of technologies related to deposition and etching processes for electronic devices, including electrodeposition, electrochemical planarization, non-contact electropolishing, electrochemical etching, and electrophoretic deposition for printed circuit board, chip-scale/wafer-level packages, and semiconductor-scale applications. The firm's expertise in this industrial sector covers both process development and the design and manufacture of hardware that incorporates each process.
