Anodic Alumina Nanotemplate

---

Micromachined Ceramic

Synkera offers several product lines based on our nano/microfabrication technologies.  Unique features and performance of these products are derived from precisely controlled nanoscale morphology, composition chemical and mechanical properties of anodic aluminum oxide, our unique processes for ceramic micromachining and ability to conformally coat very high aspect ratio nanopores with different materials.

Synkera offers a selection of standard products, and also welcomes inquiries for custom manufacturing. Please follow the links below for further details.

Templates for Nanofabrication

Synkera offers a broad range of anodic alumina-based nanotemplates of three distinct formats: AAO on Al foil, AAO integrated on Si, glass or other substrates, and free-standing AAO.  These products feature excellent pore diameter uniformity and have been used by a number of research groups worldwide for deposition of uniform and ordered arrays of nanostructures (nanoparticles, nanowires, nanorods, nanotubes, etc) as well as for synthesis of advanced nanocomposites.

 Ceramic Microcomponents

Synkera offers custom ceramic microcomponents from nanoporous alumina that can accommodate diverse application ranging from high temperature gas sensing to in-vivo bioanalysis. Our process combines features of both surface- and bulk– like micromachining and can support a broad range of designs, including high-resolution, high aspect ratio structures and elements of 3-D designs. 

Substrates for Life Science

We offer nanoporous ceramic substrates for various life science applications. The substrates feature excellent biocompatibility, 3-D nanoporous architecture and are available in several formats to support a variety of analysis modes.

Functional Coatings

Conformal nano-scale coatings on high aspect ratio surfaces are available for all of our AAO-based membrane and nanotemplate products as well as on customer-provided samples.
