CreaTec Fischer & Co. GmbH

CreaTec Fischer & Co. GmbH has been develo­ping and manufac­tu­ring highly specia­li­zed systems and compon­ents for research and develo­p­ment for more than 30 years. With locati­ons in Erlig­heim and Berlin, we support scien­ti­fic and indus­trial innova­tion in the fields of ultra high vacuum techno­logy (UHV), scanning tunnel­ing micro­scopy (LT STM/AFM), and molecu­lar beam epitaxy (MBE). Our techno­lo­gies provide the founda­tion for advan­ced appli­ca­ti­ons in materi­als research and quantum technologies.

Services

  • Neutral Atom Sources: Specia­li­zed ovens for genera­ting highly pure neutral atomic beams, whose atoms serve as qubits in quantum compu­ters, as highly sensi­tive sensing elements in quantum sensors, and as reference systems for high precis­ion atomic clocks. Ensem­bles of neutral atoms also enable the experi­men­tal inves­ti­ga­tion of quantum mecha­ni­cal proper­ties of solid-state materials.
  • Low Tempe­ra­ture Scanning Tunnel­ing and Atomic Force Micro­scopy: High resolu­tion micro­scopy systems for the inves­ti­ga­tion of surfaces, nanos­truc­tures, and quantum systems under ultra high vacuum and low tempe­ra­ture condi­ti­ons. The combi­na­tion of Scanning Tunnel­ing Micro­scopy (STM) and Atomic Force Micro­scopy (AFM) enables the analy­sis of electro­nic, struc­tu­ral, and magne­tic proper­ties down to the atomic scale.
  • Ultra High Vacuum Substrate Prepa­ra­tion: Compre­hen­sive exper­tise and custo­mi­zed soluti­ons for sample prepa­ra­tion and charac­te­riza­tion. This includes cleaning, anneal­ing, and coating proces­ses, as well as the develo­p­ment of complete prepa­ra­tion systems for the most deman­ding research and develo­p­ment applications.
