Source Precursor Adsorption
Source Precursor Adsorption
- Capable of precise atomic-layer thickness control via deposition cycle adjustment
- Capable of depositing various thin films including oxides, nitrides, and metals
- Superior deposition uniformity and high-purity film formation
- High-quality thin-film deposition on nano-scale fine patterns and 3D structures through conformal coating
Achieving the Target Thickness through Precise Multilayer Deposition
An increase in leakage current leads to higher power consumption.
