MTI History and Milestone

• Founder   Dr. Xiao P. Jiang  received Ph.D in materials Science and Engineering from Chinese Academy of Science in 1988.  He studied in MIT as post-doctoral researcher  for super conductor crystal under supervisor of Prof. M.C. Flemings.   He published more than 30 papers on High Tc superconductor and its crystal.

• 1994       MTI Corporation was established  to supply single crystal substrates for superconductor film with little capital.

• 1997       MTI set up a joint venture in Hefei, China to produce LaAlO3, SrTiO3 and MgO etc single crystal boules and substrates

• 2000       New Focus Inc. invested  5 millions dollars to MTI  for producing single crystals and optical components  for fiber-optics, then MTI became one of the major manufacturer of oxide single crystals, substrate and optical component in the world. 

• 2001       MTI  set up a factory in Shenyang, China to produce precision cutting and polishing machines and a factory in Shenzhen, China to produce smart wafer containers

• 2002:      MTI donated two CZ crystal Growth System to Stanford Research Institute and California State University at LA separately to help them to build up crystal growth Lab with total worth $600,000

• 2003       MTI developed many new crystals substrates for III-V and II-V, such as LSAT, Spinel, CdWO4, CdTe etc  and  still kept profitable when "fiber optics bubble" was broken

• 2004       MTI continuesgrowing and created the history high sales both in crystal and machines. Especially MTI high temperature furnaces got in global market.

• 2005       MTI provides full sets of equipment for material research from mixing, pressing, sintering, cutting, polishing and X-ray analysis.  and donates two sets of crystal grower ( $400,000 worth ) to Material science and Engineering dept. of Northeast University, China, where MTI founder  Dr. X.p. Jiang achieved BS and MS Degree.

• 2006      MTI's factory in China ( Hefei) moves in 100K SF facility, and will expand lab furnace production line in mass production.

• 2007       MTI developed and supplies new crystal wafers, including Ge upto 4" , InSb and InAs up to 2", KTN crystal

• 2008      MTI bought and moved into new facility with 30K SF in Richmond, CA94804, USA, and achieves sales in history high

• 2009    

  • MTI developed extra high temperature furnace ( GSL1800X ) and gas mixing system with furnaces, and become one of major supplier of laboratory furnace for material research in the world. 

  • MTI donated USD$100,000 worth  full set of lab equipment to Material Science Engineering dept. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) , where MTI founder , Dr. Xiao.P. Jiang studied as postdoctoral fellow. The donated equipment can be shared by all MTI Alumni Contact Prof. Geoffrey Beach at gbeach@MIT.EDUto discuss possibility.
• 2010      MTI obtained CE Certification for most of Furnaces in the OTF-1200X, GSL1100X - 1800X and KSL1100X - 1800X series.
