Thin Film Deposition

DESCRIPTION

Galfenol, an alloy of Fe and Ga, is a mechanically robust and malleable material with moderately large magnetostriction, low switching field, high Curie temperature (Tc) and less-temperature-dependent magneto-mechanical behavior.  It plays a key role in both direct and converse multiferroic applications due to its strong coupling between magnetization and strain.

APPLICATIONS

• Acoustic devices (e.g. sonar and speakers)

• Magnetometers

• Micro magnetorhelogical fluid control

• Inductive charging

• Energy harvesting

• CMOS integration

• Compatible Substrates requirements:

  • • Material: Si, Sapphire and PMN-PT

    • Maximum Substrate size: 6” in diameter

    • Maximum Substrate thickness: 500 µm
