KRI: Advancing Critical Fields,
Technologies, and Sciences
Technologies, and Sciences
The technologies KRI has developed over 40 years as a pioneer and leader in broad-beam products have powered advances in a variety of technological fields.
Industries We Helped Advance
Revolutionizing Processes
Relatively new as a material process technology, ion source applications have steadily grown in popularity. As the virtues of ion-beam process capabilities are discovered, process engineers and researchers are achieving desirable film and surface properties which were previously not attainable without the use of our technology. Today, our products are applied in many commonly accepted processes, including:
Precision Thin-
Film Control
Thin films with thicknesses of several monolayers.
Etch Uniformities &
Critical Dimensions
Etched wafers with tight uniformities and critical geometrical dimensions.
Precision
Optics
Dense and stable films with optimized refractive indices and low absorption.
Consumer
Eyewear
High-throughput manufacturing of durable AR coatings that adhere to plastic lenses.
Photonics
& Lasers
Smooth, low-scatter, and optically pure films with high laser-induced damage thresholds.
Medical
Devices
Hard and corrosion-resistant organic coatings which exhibit designable biological activity.
Magnetic Data
Storage
Anisotropic and uniform etching of nanometer features in metal and dielectric multilayer stacks.
MEMS, Sensors,
Displays
Surface modification and texturing to amplify surface work functions.
Semiconductors
Reproducible adhesion of metal coatings for high yield lift-off processes.
