Spin out company
Adama Innovations Ltd.
Adama Innovations Ltd. develops nanotechnology solutions in diamond and carbon based materials using proprietary technologies to form nanometer to millimeter structures over wafer-scale surfaces. The solutions have been applied to mechanical imprint stamps, injection molds, thermal interface materials (TIM), and probes for Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The company was incorporated in 2010 and seed capitalized in 2014. It is located in Dublin, Ireland with extensive ties to the AMBER Research Centre based at Trinity College Dublin.
Adama offers high resolution nanoscale AFM probes fabricated from electrically conducting diamond that image, measure, and manipulate matter at the nanoscale. The company’s AFM probes are used in a range of applications including general topography, ultra-high resolution, electrical, nano-mechanical mapping, semiconductor CD-AFM, and 3D nano-tomography through unique machining modes. To enable these applications, extensive technology has been applied to the tips of the AFM probes where shape is critical due to tip-sample interactions upon which AFM is fundamentally based. The tip varieties include spheres, cones, convex cones, pillars, and flare-shapes with final apex size as small as 2 nanometers available.
