Picosun Develops ALD for Graphene-Based Displays and Electronics
ESPOO, Finland, January 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Picosun Oy, a leading Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) equipment manufacturer teams up
with several prominent European nanotechnology companies and research institutes to
develop novel, graphene-based solutions for display manufacturing, flexible electronics,
and electronic component industries.
With its phenomenal physical properties, such as excellent heat and electrical
conductivity and structural strength, graphene has a huge amount of potential future
applications in several branches of industry. It is paving its way especially strongly
into flexible electrical devices, sensors, optoelectronics, and a new generation of
displays, where it can replace conductive films. Graphene is also in the roadmap of
high-performance electronics, where graphene's extreme heat conductivity can be utilized
in developing outstandingly efficient heat sink structures.
The development work for ALD-processing of graphene is a part of the EU 7th Framework
Program project QUANTIHEAT ("QUANTItative scanning probe microscopy techniques for HEAT
transfer management in nanomaterials and nanodevices"). New ALD equipment and process
development is an integral part of the project, widening Picosun's selection of industrial
ALD solutions. Picosun already offers the world-leading advancements in ALD and PEALD
tools for single wafers and batch processing, and proprietary roll-to-roll technology for
continuous ALD.
"We are pleased to collaborate with all the frontline companies and R&D organizations
in this strategically important European nanotechnology project. Combined with our
previous experience, the know-how accumulated during the QUANTIHEAT project will
strengthen our leadership in new ALD applications," summarizes Juhana Kostamo, Managing
Director of Picosun.
Picosun's world leading ALD technology enables industrial leap into the future by
novel, cutting-edge coating solutions, with four decades of innovative and pioneering
expertise in the field. Today, PICOSUN(TM) ALD systems are in daily production use in
numerous prominent industries around the globe. Picosun is based in Finland, with
subsidiaries in USA and Singapore, and a world-wide sales and support network.
The project QUANTIHEAT (grant agreement no NMP4-LA-2013-604668) is coordinated by CNRS
(Centre Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique), France.
