Cambridge NanoTech growth prompts HQ move

By Mass High Tech staff

Cambridge NanoTech Inc. has moved its headquarters within Cambridge to accommodate the company’s growth in laboratory space and personnel. The new headquarters, located at 68 Rogers Street in Cambridge, gives the atomic layer deposition (ALD) developer an 11,000 square-foot facility -- more than four times Cambridge NanoTech’s former site -- with more than 1,000 square feet of clean room space.

Company officials have projected 40 percent growth by the end of 2009. The growth is related to the use of ALD in semiconductors, flat-panel display technology and nanostructures, company COO Ray Ritter said in a press release.

Founded in 2003, Cambridge NanoTech focuses its ALD technology research and development for both business and higher education use. The company was launched from Harvard University’s ALD research group at Gordon Lab.

In January, Mass High Tech announced Cambridge NanoTech founder and CEO Jill Becker as one of 10 Women to Watch award winners in 2009.  The Women to Watch awards event will take place on March 12 at the Charles Hotel in Cambridge.
