Spatial Ald Technology
As there is no need for time consuming purge steps, deposition times become minutes instead of hours
The deposition area / print head can be scaled as wide as desired, making it possible to do Spatial ALD on substrates up to meters wide, as well as on rolls of flexible foils
No deposition on reactor walls, only on the substrate. Furthermore, the separated flow of precursors enables recovery of unreacted precursor from the waste flows
On top of the known ALD benefits like uniformity and conformality, SparkNano’s technology includes unique features such as mask-less patterned deposition and co-dosing
At SparkNano, we do Spatial ALD. Instead of a vacuum chamber we use - what can best be described - as an ALD print head. Through this print head, we supply the gaseous precursors separated from each other by shields of inert gas.
The print head floats above the substrate, and when the substrate and print head move with respect to each other, an ALD film is deposited.
