The Picosun Sprinter ALD system process results for Al<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>3<\/sub> showed excellent thickness uniformity even at low 90\u00b0C deposition temperatures.&nbsp; At 300\u00b0C the results were at a record-breaking level of &lt;0.2% 1-sigma within wafer.<\/p>\n<p>Picosun has also improved other process performance metrics. Production capacity has more than doubled in the last two months without any uniformity degradation when the process cycle time has been reduced to 8 seconds. Other examples include the SiO<sub>2 <\/sub>process results, which showed uniform films for backend-of-the-line compatible thermal SiO<sub>2<\/sub> ALD process at 300-390\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>Al<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>3<\/sub> is one of the most common deposited films for applications such as moisture barrier for image sensors and displays. SiO<sub>2<\/sub> thin film is widely used in the manufacturing process of for example logic chips as spacer or multi-pattern applications. Sensitive substrates can require low deposition temperature or low thermal budget without compromising the film quality, which is one of the challenges the company wanted to address with Picosun Sprinter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPicosun Group launched Sprinter, the fast batch ALD tool for 300 mm wafers, in December 2020. We wanted to bring single wafer film quality and uniformity for fast batch processing and meet the challenges in high volume ALD manufacturing. Our solution has gained strong interest in the market and we are already delivering a number of Sprinter ALD systems to customers,\u201d says Juhana Kostamo, vice president, Industrial Business Area of Picosun Group.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nFor more information:<\/p>\n<p>Picosun Group<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.picosun.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.picosun.com<\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Picosun Group, Finland, has further optimized its Picosun Sprinter ALD system processes successfully for semiconductor, display, and IoT component manufacturing lines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63103,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[441,435,436,459,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5909","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-materials-properties-and-performance","category-news","category-news-articles","category-nonmetallic-engineering-materials","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
