PlasmaPro ASP

Based on production-proven platform for corporate/specialised R&D, PlasmaPro ASP has been designed to ensure high quality materials that can be deposited at speed with flexibility to run multiple chemistries to give excellent layers for incorporation into devices. Our cutting-edge Plasma Enhanced ALD system offers flexibility, conformality, and tunability of ALD with speed for higher throughput and thicker films.

3x faster than conventional remote plasma
Reduced precursor consumption which is beneficial for the environment and cost of running
High material quality
Low cost of ownership
Improved serviceability and maintenance
Low volume chamber for speed
Low substrate damage
Higher process stability

PlasmaPro ASP has shared platform with Atomfab to deliver fast and low damage remote plasma enhanced ALD. Remote plasma ALD offers superior device performance compared to thermal ALD and direct plasma ALD. It is compact to limit the effective chamber volume for rapid gas exchange and it is effective over the full 200mm wafer diameter.

High speed remote plasma source
- High and uniform radical density and low ion energies for low damage, fast saturation
- PLC and AMU control allows rapid striking
Excellent precursor and process control
- Up to 6 precursors, bubbled or vapour drawn

Wafer electrode
- 200 mm wafer electrode with bias
- Up to 400 °C deposition temp.
- 200 °C heated inner chamber
Control system
- Ease of service, and simplified wiring
- Improved diagnostics for service
- No separate ‘electronics’ rack

Case Study

We collaborate for over 15 years with Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and together we continue to make significant progress in Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) research which is one of the most rapidly evolving techniques used in many applications of nanofabrication.

We are very pleased to present the research projects of two PhD students from TU/e who have used Oxford Instruments’ FlexAL ALD system featuring a remote inductively coupled plasma source, enabling high-quality deposition. Using advanced plasma ALD technology, Karsten Arts has achieved conformal deposition on high aspect ratio features and Marc Merkx has achieved highly selective growth of Titanium Nitride (TiN).
