Arradiance Announces Sale of Benchtop ALD/CVD Combination Tool
SUDBURY, Mass. --(Business Wire)--
Arradiance Inc., announced today the receipt of an order for the
industry's first benchtop ALD/CVD combination tool for advanced metal
deposition research. New system's features minimize contamination and
maximize process control. Capable of processing 200mm substrates using
up to eight precursors, this new GEMStar system has the ability to
achieve process temperatures of up to 400°C in either a pulsed or
continuous controlled flow mode to offer the highest quality metal films
available for researchers.
"This unique GEMSTAR-8 system combines the control of Atomic Layer
Deposition with the speed and versatility of CVD in a compact benchtop
unit perfect for material development in a controlled temperature
(400°C) and gas processing environment," said David Beaulieu, Arradiance
Chief Operating Officer. "Metal deposition is of particular interest in
markets such as semiconductors and alternative energy. Materials
research in this area could lead to less expensive and more abundant
energy in the future."

Since entering the market in 2009, GEMStar has become the preferred
laboratory tool for serious researchers who need quality ALD at an
affordable price. The system has been adopted at major US and
International research institutions around the world.
"Our unique experience and ground-breaking work with our patented
ALD-activated, large area microchannel plates along with expertise in
materials science, systems engineering and product development have all
combined to make possible a truly robust research ALD system for
scientists and engineers who are serious about results," says Ken
Stenton, Arradiance CEO. "Because of the demand for expanding the
materials that can be deposited using ALD we saw the need for a research
tool with excellent film performance and system reliability at a size
and cost to fit the research environment. We're confident the GEMStar-8
will exceed customer expectations."
Demand for high quality, precisely controlled metal deposition into
higher aspect ratio structures is increasingly called for by the
semiconductor industry to enable the smaller geometries of future chip
generations.
