"TEPHRAOne is our answer to the growing demand for commercial ALD coating speeds in a single module configuration,” said Paul Lichty, CEO of Forge Nano. “With the same high-speed deposition rates and unmatched chemical utilization as our multi-module TEPHRA, TEPHRAOne allows customers with singular coating needs to save critical floor space without sacrificing throughput and quality."

TEPHRAOne is equipped to deposit oxide, nitride or nanolaminates at up to 12 nanometers per minute, while utilizing up to 90% of loaded chemical precursor, to deliver single wafer coatings at batch speeds. The commercial tool includes fast pneumatic valves and in-situ reactor pressure control enabling sub-second coating cycles. Forge Nano’s catalyzed thermal ALD process is utilized in TEPHRAOne to enable high aspect ratio processing desired by RF device, MEMs & sensors and LED & photonics applications.

Forge Nano will be showcasing TEPHRAONE at SEMICON Taiwan, taking place in Taipei from September 10-12. To learn more, stop by the Forge Nano booth (#R7219) located on the 4th floor of TaiNEX 2 or download the equipment brochure here.
