Laurell Technologies Corporation remains at the forefront of practical yet affordable tool design, while remaining absolutely dedicated to customer satisfaction.
Starting with a single idea from a customer who was unable to clean his GaAs wafers in 1985... We have, from these humble beginnings, cultivated a reputation for excellence and worldwide popularity with almost 20,000 installed. Yes, some ideas are more powerful than others, but hard work in the persistence of excellence rules the day.
We manufacture spin coaters & spin processors exclusively, in the United States of America. Most models are in stock and ready for delivery within 24 hours.
Our products are designed to be process development–friendly.
Our application-specific approach allows us to offer even more functionality at less cost.
We also configure our universally-designed systems to best meet your needs——we don't assume that we know what you need until you tell us.
We have years of experience and expertise in handling valuable and fragile substrates. We've designed chucks for every kind of substrate imaginable — from the smallest, thinnest, most delicate substrates to heavy photomasks — and manufactured these chucks from the finest materials available.
If anything ever does go wrong, we typically repair most equipment within 24 hours.
Our systems allow you to easily develop the process that best fits your application, all while maintaining safe visualization of your substrate.

Long Business Description

Typically our clients are working in research or manufacturing of advanced semiconductor materials for integrated circuits or optoelectronic devices. Recently photovoltaic solar energy conversion and thermoelectric materials have become an important part of our activities.

Our experience and proven solutions include the measurement of majority carrier properties (such as resistivity, carrier concentration, mobility, effective mass, trapping) and minority carrier properties (such as minority carrier lifetime, diffusion length, trapping), in R&D or production environments. We also include associated measurements of insulating (dielectric) and metal thin film properties and film thickness and the interface characteristics between these thin films and the semiconductor.
When we use the term "semiconductor" today we mean it in the broadest sense. It can be the elemental materials silicon germanium etc, in single crystal or polycrystalline wafers or in polycrystalline or amorphous thin film form but it can also mean compound semiconductors or alloys of compounds in crystal wafers or polycrystalline thin films and more recently also polymer and organic thin films.

The methods we apply to these problems cover a wide range of technologies ( such as; optical, electronic, magnetic, cryogenic, acoustic, electro-chemical, vacuum etc) supplied by a number of partner companies around the world.
SemiMetrics find the solution first by working with the client, and then find the partners needed to supply the required parts to build the solution. We then offer proven solutions from our portfolio of projects.
