Project description
Optimised thin-film deposition technique could enhance semiconductor coatings
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is critical in semiconductor manufacturing, allowing precise control of thin-film deposition. The EU-funded SALADIN project aims to prove the effectiveness of Picosun’s P300F system for the European semiconductor industry. In collaboration with Silex Microsystems and Pegasus Chemicals, SALADIN will test, validate and supply chemical precursors for ALD thin films. The primary target market is microelectromechanical system (MEMS) processing and production. The goal is to demonstrate that a single ALD system can meet the diverse coating needs of MEMS foundry devices while fulfilling quality, flexibility, productivity and cost requirements. Optimised systems and processes will make ALD technology more accessible and affordable, enabling cost-effective, high-quality coatings in various applications, including light-emitting diodes, sensors and compound semiconductor devices.
Objective
The main objective of SALaDIn project is to prove industrial applicability of Picosun’s Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) system, called P300F, for the needs of European semiconductor industry. This will be performed in collaboration with Silex Microsystems and Pegasus Chemicals who are responsible for testing and validation of the tool in industrial environment, and supply of chemical precursors for ALD thin films, respectively. The first target market is MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) processing and production. The goal is to show that a single ALD system can fulfil the coating needs of MEMS foundry’s multiple devices by meeting film property and quality requirements, flexibility requirements for materials and processes as well as productivity requirements and cost targets for final devices. The system and processes optimized during the project will bring the ALD technology easily accessible and affordable for companies working with wafer sizes other than the mainstream 12” silicon technology and enable cost effective and high quality coatings in various application fields, such as MEMS, LEDs, sensors and devices made on compound semiconductors.
