Cryogenic & Vacuum Engineering Ltd specializes in the repair and refurbishment of vacuum
pumps for primary and ultra-high vacuum systems.
The service centre based in Lincoln is set up to handle most of the mainstream pump models as
listed here. This list is not exhaustive and our team of experts will also provide support and advise
on the best course of action to get you back online quickly even if you are dealing with a special
pump not listed here.
Opening a vacuum specialized company alongside Applied Materials Technology Limited (AMT)
provides access to unparalleled facilities in material sciences. AMT labs are capable of analysing
and testing a full range of liquids, gases and solid materials. These facilities and the underlying
expertise provide an excellent platform for failure analysis, thereby providing CVE with means to
understand conditions of use and the reasons for component failures. This allows us to engineer
and provide better alternatives in order to make the products more robust with improved
performance and longevity.
CVE has established a supplier relationship with Kashiyama for its high efficiency small dry pumps
and a UK sales and service distribution agreement for HANBELL medium to large dry pump
installations. These are new generation pump systems which offer advantages to customers with
high reliability delivered with reduced maintenance and power demand leading to reduced cost of
ownership.
CVE plans to build a centre for training in industrial vacuum engineering alongside its service
business in order train new generations of vacuum pump engineers.

Our CVD synthetic diamond is the most thermally conductive material. In electronics, it brings a
new dimension to thermal management, extending device life time, reducing device footprint as
well as offering performance and efficiency gains.
Where power, temperature and reliability are critical factors, CVD diamond transforms competitive
advantage in electronic thermal management. Leveraging synthetic diamond’s unparalleled
thermal properties allows semiconductor design engineers to address today’s critical challenges,
such as improved reliability and increased power density on a smaller footprint, thereby delivering
world-leading competitive advantage to both device and system manufacturers alike.
Combining low weight, electrical insulation, mechanical strength, low toxicity and low dielectric
constant, with a room temperature thermal conductivity up to 5 times higher than copper, makes
microwave CVD diamond the optimal heat spreader material for device and package designers.

Metryx develops and manufactures advanced metrology systems based on mass metrology. Mass
change provides a direct, passive and rapid measurement of process change in a semiconductor
process, regardless of whether it is an additive or subtractive process. The process change will
manifest as either a single excursion, or a drift and will allow process engineering and excursion
management decisions to be made and rapidly implemented. Because mass measurement takes
place on product wafers it enables the reduction of non productive test wafers, and provides
information quickly on process excursions reducing risk.
Metryx has a worldwide customer base including 300mm, 200mm and 150mm fabs in Europe, US
and Asia.
Metryx tools are in use on high volume applications in high volume productions fabs as well as in
multi application use in smaller fabs. Metryx has achieved recognition in this highly competitive
industry with awards including Semiconductor International Best Product Award, Eurasia
Semiconductor Yield Enhancement Award, and two Queens Awards for International Trade and for
Innovation.
Metryx is working with a number of similar companies on activities to reduce test wafer
consumption, as well as increased process monitoring to help reduce reliance on slower, more
expensive analytical metrology.

Outside of the OEM we are the leading Nikon Scanner/Stepper and SF100 - SF140 company world

for service up to the XLA.We can also swap Gigaphoton lasers for Cymer lasers as have done this
already in some top end facilities We support all the Gigaphoton range of lasers on
decommissionings, Installations, refurbishments, service,training but cannot supply the parts yet.
We can also supply the Nikon g-line,i-line and DUV optics from body G6 - S204 scanners and also
have developed our own RPF filters for the i-line uniformity problems. We will shortly do the same
for the DUV tools up to S204. We will shortly be able to run all the Nikon i-line training classes from
Nikon body i8 - i14 in our state of the art clean room in Nijmegen as we are installing all the i-line
tools there at present to allow us to do this. We are also starting up EX14 steppers and will be able
to give EX14 training and Cymer 5400/5410 training there also shortly.
We have an extensive amount of Nikon parts in stock from Body 7 to S203 scanner and are looking

services, advice on processing parameters and engineering services from pilot to full scale plant
design and installation. The unique properties of certain precious metals has led to their
widespread use in the production of high volume, high performance electronics components.
In many cases, such processes generate high volumes of dilute waste streams containing
significant amounts of precious metals which are not easily concentrated for use in conventional
recycling processes. Significant extra value can be unlocked from recovered precious metal waste
streams thereby improving overall efficiency and reducing product costs further in a highly cost

Today's semiconductor industry has a rapidly growing demand for faster turn around times in product
development and cost- effective manufacturing. This includes faster development of IC test solutions
and parallel efforts to cover the large variety of products.
In many cases existing test solutions must also be transferred to new high speed test equipment to
reduce the cost of test. There are also upcoming demands from "fabless” ASIC design houses to help
them transfer their ASIC designs to production.
These requirements often lead to resource shortages and requirements for additional expertise and
therefore contracting out test development work has more and more become an established route.
Smartest GmbH, a privately owned, Munich based company, was founded to address these needs in a
very flexible and efficient way.
Smartest offers a complete application package which is focused on short development times while
minimizing the involvement of the customers resources in the out-sourced project. This is achieved by
offering a complete package of services for IC test applications, including: : test concept engineering
- test program generation and debug - the design and manufacturing of interface boards -
production integration - product analysis documentation and training
The development process is monitored by computerized project planning and review tools. They are
transparent to the customer and also open to the customers requirements in TQM. Finally the
product support is guaranteed by a unique software warranty procedure.
This concept has proven to be very successful and today, Smartest supports a large number of tester
platforms for customers all over the world.
