HUNT VALLEY, MD – December 3, 2008 – Reactive NanoTechnologies, Inc. (RNT), developer and manufacturer of its patented NanoFoil®, has announced the successful demonstration of its NanoBond® process and technology for bonding Generation 10 sputtering targets used in the fast growing Solar Photovoltaic and Flat Panel Display (FPD) industries. The demonstration was done on an aluminum target measuring 3400mm x 218mm and resulted in greater than 98% bond coverage as measured by ultrasonic inspection. This demonstration proves RNT as a valued additional source for this cutting edge technology to existing and future customers. The bond was executed in RNT’s Hunt Valley facilities and the process is now being transferred to licensees of the NanoBond® process throughout Asia.
“This is a significant achievement and statement of our commitment to these important markets,” commented Joe Grzyb, RNT’s CEO. “RNT continues, along with its customers and partners, to exploit the significant benefits of our NanoBond® process in delivering a superior-performing, bonded sputter target to the manufacturing floor.”
NanoBond® provides superior bond uniformity and high temperature performance resulting in demonstrable benefits to the end users of sputter targets. Today, NanoBond® is the solution of choice for providers and users of sputter targets in the FPD, semiconductor, magnetic media and solar industries.
