OLED
Imagine large-area and next generation OLED screens manufactured at a low production price combined with long lifetime. Superspatial ALD is here to make that happen.
Packaging
Imagine extended shelf life of products thanks to packaging with high barrier properties, produced with high throughput and uptimes. Get it done with superspatial ALD thin films.
With Superspatial ALD, you can develop thin films of very high quality, free from pinholes over large surface areas. Atomic-level control over the film thickness results in extremely uniform and conformal layers, even over large areas and complex topographies. Pinhole-free layers ensure better barrier properties, better stability and product lifetime.
Sustainable production with atomic precision
Using resources with the precision of a single atom, superspatial ALD enables you to produce thin films sustainably while reducing cost and complexity. Superspatial ALD does not use a vacuum, nor does it require high temperatures. The high precursor utilization and low energy consumption make it significantly more energy efficient compared to other thin film coating methods such as PVD, thermal CVD or PECVD. The use of scarce and precious materials can be reduced significantly by the formation of dense and high-quality layers while maximizing performance and stability.
High throughput production
Our roll-to-roll technology facilitates high throughput production, making spatial ALD for thin film commercially viable. Through the helical web transport, we can ensure a high throughput. Many layers can be made in one process, making it the ideal method for depositing a thin multilayer barrier coating fast, and cheap. Operating at low temperatures and atmospheric pressures, the roll-to-roll production machine is easy to integrate into the existing production lines.
