zeroK NanoTech develops and delivers focused ion beam systems built around its cesium-ion Low Temperature Ion Source, pairing nanoscale machining with advanced materials analysis. Owned by physicists and inventors Adam V. Steele and Brenton Knuffman, the company offers FIB:ZERO for high-resolution fabrication and SIMS:ZERO for focused-beam secondary ion mass spectrometry. Its core LoTIS technology uses laser-cooled atoms to produce a sharply focused, high-brightness ion beam.
Ion Technology SolutionsFounded in 2005, privately owned Ion Technology Solutions has built its identity around developing proprietary equipment solutions for semiconductor manufacturers worldwide. The Mineola company holds nine U.S. patents and operates a 6,000-square-foot facility with a Class 10,000 clean room, where its 20-person team produces ion sources for implantation equipment. iTS is certified to ISO 9001:2015.MINEOLA, NY
TESCAN GROUP, a.sFrom its home in Brno’s electron-optics tradition, TESCAN GROUP, a.s. makes imaging and analysis instruments for scientific and industrial research, including electron microscopes, micro-CT and focused-ion-beam systems. Founded in 1991 by former Tesla engineers, the company has spent more than 35 years turning complex microscopy workflows into practical tools used in more than 80 countries. Now part of Shimadzu Corporation, Tescan also develops specialized systems such as the FemtoChisel femtosecond laser for semiconductor sample preparation and failure analysis.423490WARRENDALE, PA
MassTech IncIncorporated in 2001, Columbia’s privately owned MassTech Inc. develops and manufactures analytical instrumentation, best known as the only licensed manufacturer of AP MALDI ion sources. Its compact MT Explorer 30 brings laboratory-level, MSⁿ-capable ion-trap analysis into a field-deployable package, while the company’s AP MALDI technology is adapted for mass spectrometers from major manufacturers worldwide. MassTech also maintains in-house research and production capabilities for custom instruments.COLUMBIA, MD
