ALD System Overview

As semiconductor technology advances, the demand for atomically thin, high performance materials continues to grow. Our single chamber Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and High Temperature Annealing system is engineered for up to 8” wafer processing, delivering precise layer growth, defect elimination, and enhanced crystallinity and uniformity, all in one integrated platform.

Integrated Platform
  1. Shower Head gas inlet with single gas input with heated line.
  2. SiC³ coated graphite sample holding for 6” or 8” wafers.
  3. Gas cooling ring.
  4. Sample lifting mechanism.
  5. SiC³ coated graphite heating element.
  6. 2 x Type K Thermocouples monitoring element temperature.
  7. 1 x K type thermocouple monitoring wafer temperature.

Step 1: Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD): Controlled Growth at the Atomic Scale

Our ALD process enables precise, self limiting deposition of 2D materials like MoS₂, MoO₃, WS₂, and WO₃ for next generation transistors, sensors, and flexible electronics.

  • Scalable for up to 8” wafers, enabling uniform deposition over large area substrates.
  • Superior step coverage, achieving monolayer precision on high aspect ratio structures.
  • Low temperature processing, supporting compatibility with advanced semiconductor materials.
  • Showerhead gas delivery system, allowing for uniform gas distribution.

Step 2: High Temperature Annealing: Enhanced Material Properties

Post deposition annealing optimises film quality and electronic performance using precise gas controlled environments and sample lifting technology for fast cooling.

  • High temperatures up to 1200°C, promoting crystallinity and phase transformation.
  • Reactive and inert gas processing, including H₂S, H₂Se, O₂, O₃, N₂, and Ar.
  • Wafer gas cooling and sample lifting, supporting uniform thermal management and rapid cooldown for process stability.
