    BEST IN CLASS, MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

    Chemistries: Al2O3, SiO2, AZO, TiO2, GaN, TiN, Bi2O3, Pt, Co, Cu, Ta205, Hf203, MLD

    Cost-effective, high-productivity ALD of many films and combination films including HfO2, ZrO2, Ta2O5, Al2O3, ZnO, ZnAlO, SiO2, HfSiO, TiO2, <300°  TiN, BN, GaN, Nb3N5 and more.

    Applications: Copper Barrier, ALD-Cap, Optical, Adhesion/Seeding, TCOs

    Design: APOLLO uses our millisecond response ALD manifold that integrates 10 of our patented Fast Pneumatic Valves (FPV) to deliver over 100 million trouble-free cycles of composite and nanolaminate ALD films. This manifold is the only ALD manifold that can switch composition every cycle without any throughput penalty. Field proven since 2005, our valves set  records for speed, reliability, lifetime and safety, while performing at temperatures as high as 220°C.  Forge Nano’s ALD valves are the only doubly contained, spill-free UHP valves on the market.  

    Add Ons: Ozone Generator, QCM, Plasma

    PERFORMANCE

    THEIA delivers ultra fast deposition with Forge Nano’s patented SMFD-ALD™, in a low cost system for R&D budgets. Sub-second ALD cycle times allow efficient and rapid exploration of applications requiring thick films. Covering challenging patterned substrates such as advanced-generation DRAM device wafers, membranes, sensors, electron multipliers, etc. with aspect ratios up to 1,000. 
    THEIA is a low-cost versatile ALD system that fits most R&D budgets. The flexible chamber design allows for both; round up to 200 mm substrate chuck that fits semiconductor wafers, or square parts carrying tray that better accommodates panels or randomly shaped parts.

    CAPABILITIES

    • Fast and thick film deposition ( > 5 micron)
    • Fast ALD deposition at low temperatures
    • Low temperature processing (down to 80 °C)
    • Seamless incorporation of nano-laminates with reproducible atomic-layer control
    • Composite ternary and quaternary alloy films with no throughput penalty
    • In situ QCM monitoring of film growth with high mass and time resolution
    • Field reconfigurable

    THEIA is ideal for exploration of newly developed ALD precursors. At the initial stage, ALD precursors are often extremely expensive ($1,000/gm is not unusual) and are    available in very small quantities. Users also  benefit from the many mature high productivity ALD processes that include HfO2, ZrO2, Ta2O5 SiO2, <300°C TiN, BN, GaN, Nb3N5 and more, available as turn-key processes from Forge Nano. Covering challenging patterned substrates such as advanced-generation DRAM device wafers, membranes, sensors, electron multipliers, etc. with up to 1,000 X enhanced area.

    Applications: Copper Barrier, ALD-Cap, Optical, Adhesion/Seeding, TCOs

    Design: THEIA is the only R&D tool for ALD that delivers blazing fast deposition compatible with large-scale production. With Forge Nano’s patented SMFD-ALD™, new powerful capabilities are finally available in a low cost system that fits most R&D budgets. Sub-second ALD cycle times allow efficient and rapid exploration of applications requiring thick films. Proprietary sources and processes enable new applications with unprecedented reproducibility and control. Film growth is monitored with better than 5% of monolayer resolution with an integrated QCM for finer process exploration and optimization and the finest growth details. THEIA allows you to unleash the full potential of atomic layer deposition.
