Crafting Precision Nanoparticle Coatings via UHV Processes

Theris Nanotechnology designs and manufactures high‑performance UHV (Ultra‑High Vacuum) nanoparticle deposition sources. Our systems empower researchers to create ultra‑pure, size‑selected nanoparticle films—ranging from simple elemental layers to complex alloys, core–shell structures, and high‑entropy materials—maintaining total process control.

Our Product Portfolio

NanoStreamS – Single‑Source Nanoparticle Generator

  • Based on DC magnetron sputtering into a condensation chamber
  • Generates nanoparticles with ±20% FWHM size distribution (30 atoms up to ~20 nm)
  • Charged particles enable electrostatic focus and impact‑energy modulation (soft land, porous film, compact layer)

NanoStreamT & V – Multi‑Head Sputter Sources

  • NanoStreamT: triple‑target configuration; NanoStreamV: five‑target version
  • Allows synthesis of alloyed, Janus, or core–shell nanoparticles with tunable compositions
  • Ideal for high‑entropy materials and bespoke nanoparticle chemistry

MSF Mass Filter

  • In‑line quadrupole filter offering mass-selectivity up to 10⁶ amu
  • ~2% resolution at FWHM, plus beam steering and focusing options
  • Fully Windows‑controlled for real‑time particle analysis
