RIT to Purchase New High-Tech Equipment
May 23, 2014
The Finger Lakes Regional Economic Council (FLREDC) today announced that Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) will purchase a metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) system for growth of novel materials, thin film crystals and nanostructures. The MOVPE system, which represents a major upgrade to the RIT cleanroom user facility, allowing this facility to become competitive on a regional and national scale, will be available to research teams across multiple disciplines, including optics and photonics industries. RIT will be the only university in New York State with this system, and will provide essential resources and new capabilities in multiple nanotechnology applications for regional academic and industrial partners.
