Moorfield Nanotechnology
UK Laboratory Equipment Specialists in PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition), CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition) and Etch Systems
Our systems are used for academic and industrial research, including semiconductors, photovoltaics, graphene and 2D materials.
Moorfield’s world-class scientific laboratory equipment is built to match your research needs. We can also service and repair existing tools, and provide advice relating to a custom project.
Physical vapour deposition
PVD systems have been at the core of our business for two decades.
We have PVD systems for all forms of thermal evaporation and magnetron sputtering, for deposition of all material classes: metals, insulators and organics. From the entry-level M307 to the flagship MiniLab series, we can supply a system configured to your needs.
Chemical vapour deposition
Moorfield’s nanoCVD range allow for rapid, cost-effective production of graphene and carbon nanotubes using scalable Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) methods.
Developed together with academic partners and with proven performance including high-impact publications.
Soft-etching solutions
Soft-etching technology from Moorfield is unique in providing the fine control needed for substrate and device preparation in world-leading 2D materials research.
Developed in collaboration with the Nobel Prize-winning graphene group at Manchester University, UK

Graphene soft-etching with the nanoETCH
Moorfield graphene soft-etching technology allows for the controlled removal of graphene and 2D materials, without cross-linking photoresists that can lead to residual contamination that affects device performance.
Confocal magnetron sputtering
Confocal magnetron sputtering is now routinely employed for the production of excellent uniformity, multi-layer films by magnetron sputtering. This application note describes the technology, and explains the principles behind it.
Source selection for thermal evaporation
Thermal evaporation sources A thermal evaporation (TE) component typically consists of power supply rods, usually fashioned from thick copper, mounted to feedthroughs that allow transmission…
