  • Summary

  • In its short 50 years of existence, the history of ALD has been of great interest, being heavily researched and documented in the last decade. One can follow the story from many lenses: one in particular is to view the technology’s development is through an equipment perspective. Each milestone in process technology was accompanied and enabled by new ALD tools. Without innovative equipment design, we would not have the vast ALD ecosystem we do today. Via patents and literature, this ALDeep Dive will journey the evolution of the ALD reactor. It starts from Tuomo Suntola’s original reactor and IP, moves through the early days of commercial reactors, explore the introduction of plasma, powder and spatial tools, and wrap up with today’s equipment landscape and thoughts on the personal aspect of ALD reactors.    In this episode:  00:00 - Intro  01:33 – Suntola’s 1st Reactor  03:15 – Suntola’s Patented Configurations  07:38 – The First Commercial Reactor  10:50 – Plasma, Please  15:20 – Powder ALD Reactors  20:37 – Reintroduction of Spatial ALD  24:10 – Today’s ALD Tool Landscape  25:43 – Concluding Thoughts    Important Papers & Patents
