The first domestic nanoproduction
27.11.2011
On the basis of the subsidiary enterprise of «Concern-Electron» PJSC – «Сarat» scientific-research
company – up-to-date nanotechnological production of the world level was
organized first and is
the only in Ukraine.
The innovative project was started as a result of
cooperation of «Nauka» scientific-production company and «Carat» SRC. Just due
to the common efforts of scientists
and specialists of the institutions the unique production technologies of nanosized crystal films with integrated active crystal
layers of different materials (so-called heterostructures) were developed.
Conceptually a new
technological approach to epitaxial layers system control was developed and
realized
at «Nauka» SPC,
that ensures production of structures with a high
homogeneity and wide range of electrophysical parameter changes. And at «Carat»
SRC physicochemical bases of universal technologies of forming epitaxial
optoelectronic structures based on using influence of rare-earth elements on
process of epitaxial layers crystallization were developed. The sphere of the
optoelectronic structures application is manufacturing of super bright
light-emitting diodes, powerful super high-frequency transistors for cellular
and satellite communications, medicine, solar power engineering (for example,
concentration solar batteries), and other branches of science and engineering.
«Carat» SRC industrial production of
nano-heterostructures is based on technological complex, the only in Ukraine,
the basis of which is (epitaxial) deposition installation of crystal layers on
semiconductor plates, and also installation of gas-core and liquid-phase
epitaxy, up-to-date laboratory equipped with all necessary control
installations. For creation of a high technological production sector 10 mill
dollars were deposited, half of which was given by the state.
The decision of the production location just in Lviv
in one of «Concern-Electron» PJSC enterprises was occasioned first of all by
the fact that Concern pays a great attention to investment into the applied
science – only for late three years Concern has invested into «Carat» SRC more
than 16 mill dollars of its own money. And one more reason is that highly
skilled personnel was remained there: only at
«Carat» SRC there are 7 Doctors and 17 Candidates of Science. The scope of technological and personnel potentials
of the complex allows to decide complicated scientific and technical tasks and
produce materials with various characteristics, which are basic for micro- and
nanoelectronics. This will favour modernization of Ukrainian industry and
provide an opportunity to fill the market of Ukraine with national competitive
equipment, and in future to extend the export delivery of production.
Although already now foreign companies took a high interest – and it is at
the stage of scientific research and experimental tests of the complex, the first contract for supply
nanoheterostructures to the countries of European Unit for the sum of 2,5 mill
USA dollars was signed.
At the presence of managers of scientific institutions
of Ukraine, eminent scientists and the public of Ukraine a new technological
complex was inaugurated by the Head of Lviv Regional State administration
Mychaylo Kostyuk, Lviv mayor Andriy Sadovyy, Deputy of the Head of State
Agency in management of state corporative rights Olexsander Shubin, the Head of
the board of «Concern-Electron» PJSC Yuriy Bubes, general director of «Nauka»
SPC Sergiy Larkin and general director of SRC «Carat» Mykola Vakiv.
