The essence of the business, product and market
The essence of the product: piece of silicon (the probe) for SPM.
Its cost of $ 15 to $ 1’000-1’200 per probe depending on the
quality of the tip top. One user’s sample – one probe.
Unlike competitors who etch the silicon, we create the tip, using a patented
technology of controlled growth of single crystal silicon.
We - the only ones who can give the best quality in any quantity and at a
very good price.
The market is not too big but transparent and friendly for new perspective player
The world market probes in 2010 was approximately $95M (be able to increase dramatically till $300M in 2-3 years and
further up to $1,5-2B during next 3-4 years using approach proposed by initiators of this project.
After that 30% of the market will belong to this project).

The top of our probe on photo (in TEM): the atomic structure is visible.
The center contains the absolute value of 0.31 nm - the distance
between the atomic layers (tabular data).
For this calibration can be judged on the radius of curvature of the tip of
our - 1.5 nm
A good the radius of curvature on market is - 10 nm. Our advantage is
obvious...
