Technologies and Devices
International Inc. (TDI) joins Oxford Instruments plc
TDI is a world leader in the development of Hydride Vapor
Phase Epitaxy (HVPE) technology and processes.
The addition of TDI’s products and
expertise will allow Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology to enhance their
offerings to the HBLED market as well as expand into new markets.
The current TDI team will remain
at their present Silver Spring, Maryland facility to assure continuity of supply to existing customers of HVPE
grown III-nitride materials. Expanded development and research efforts will
also continue at this location as well as at Plasma Technology. Tatiana
Dmitriev, President, will continue and assist with the integration along with
Dr Alexander Usikov who will carry on as head of Research & Development.
Tatiana Dmitriev,
President of TDI, said: “I would like to thank everyone at TDI for their hard work and dedication to the company. The opportunity to
join Oxford Instruments allows us to further develop HVPE technology and carry
on with the innovative work that my father, Vladimir, lead over the past 10
years.”
Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology currently supplies
its Plasmalab range of etch and deposition tools to a number of leading HBLED
customers. Andy Matthews, Managing
Director, said: “This acquisition is
part of our on-going strategy to deliver added value to our current and future
HBLED customers and gives us the opportunity to supply new markets. We are delighted
that TDI will be joining us, and look forward to working with
them on developing the HVPE process further for the benefit of our customers.”

About Oxford Instruments Plasma
Technology
Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology offers flexible, configurable process
tools and leading-edge processes for the precise, controllable and repeatable
engineering of micro- and nano-structures. Our systems provide process
solutions for nanometre layer epitaxial growth of compound semiconductor
material, etching of nanometre sized features and the controlled growth of
nanostructures. These solutions are based on core technologies in
plasma-enhanced deposition and etch, ion-beam deposition and etch, atomic layer
deposition and molecular beam epitaxy. Products range from compact stand-alone
systems for R&D, through batch tools and up to clustered
cassette-to-cassette platforms for high-throughput production processing.
