Imagine challenges on stability and costs for scaled up production of flexible solar cells solved. Unleash the potential of organic and perovskite with Superspatial ALD.
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.

Frequently asked questions
-
Super spatial ALD serves multiple high-value markets.
In solar cells, it protects flexible solar cells from moisture and oxygen damage and improves charge extraction efficiency. For OLED displays, it delivers barrier layers and encapsulation that enable large-area screens with long lifetimes and low production costs.
In batteries, super spatial ALD delivers protective layers for several components, enhancing safety, stability, energy density, and charging speed. In packaging, it seals food and product packaging against moisture and oxygen, extending shelf life while maintaining full recyclability.Across all these applications, spatial ALD enables better performance, longer lifetimes, and more sustainable production.
-
Perovskite and organic solar cells currently face significant barriers to commercialisation. Spatial ALD deposits precise thin-film coatings across multiple layers of the solar cell, blocking moisture and oxygen ingress. The technology works at low temperatures, making it compatible with sensitive materials, and enables large-scale manufacturing at high throughput. It also improves charge transport within the cell. Together, these capabilities bridge the gap between lab efficiency and industrial production.
-
Batteries degrade over time because of chemical reactions that damage their internal components. Super spatial ALD addresses this by applying ultra-thin protective coatings to the key parts of the battery. These coatings shield the electrodes from wear, prevent dangerous short circuits, and stabilise the internal chemistry stable. The result is a battery that lasts longer, holds more energy, and charges faster.
-
Food and product packaging needs to keep moisture and oxygen out to stay fresh and safe. Super spatial ALD applies an ultra-thin protective coating to base materials that seals packaging completely, even on complex shapes. Super spatial ALD works with recyclable materials, offering a cost-effective solution to meet sustainability goals. The result is packaging that stays flexible, durable, and cost-effective, while significantly extending shelf life. We’re currently working to build a machine that provides throughput at packaging industry standards.
-
Yes, multiple layers can be deposited in a single process run, making Superspatial ALD ideal for multilayer barrier coatings and complex functional layer stacks. This capability is particularly valuable for applications requiring alternating materials or gradient structures.
-
The technology can deposit various metal oxides (such as aluminium oxide, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, nickel oxide), as well as other functional materials depending on application requirements. The system accommodates different precursor chemistries and can be configured for specific material systems.
