Plasma ALD, LLC designs and supplies compact 13.56 MHz inductively coupled plasma (ICP) sources for plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition, thin-film etching, surface cleaning, surface modification, and laboratory plasma research.
Our ICP sources are designed for researchers and equipment manufacturers who need to integrate a high-density, low-pressure plasma source with an existing vacuum chamber, ALD reactor, or custom processing system.
Plasma ALD provides both the plasma-source hardware and the technical expertise needed to integrate it successfully. Support is available for source configuration, vacuum-system integration, RF matching, plasma operation, process development, and troubleshooting.
The source is particularly well suited to PEALD applications requiring remotely generated radicals and ions while maintaining flexibility in plasma power, gas chemistry, pressure, and source-to-substrate configuration.
