Scion Plasma LLC is a startup company spun out from Michigan State University (MSU), East Lansing, Michigan. We are partnered with leading institutes and vacuum companies to provide advanced plasma sources and plasma simulation services for materials processing.
In collaboration with MSU and Fraunhofer USA, Scion Plasma LLC has developed innovative single beam ion sources for producing high-quality thin films. The new ion sources possess multiple unique features that overcome the limitations of conventional ion sources.
Scion's plasma simulation capability is based on advanced algorithms and is >50 times faster than the current particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo scheme. Modeling a low-pressure magnetized plasma in a practical scale can be completed in less than 24 hours on a desktop computer. Scion provides plasma modeling services to industry and academic users.
