In-Line Roll-to-Roll Platform
As with our sheet-to-sheet platform, we leverage the many advantages of our PlasmaShield™ technology to facilitate a flexible Roll-to-Roll platform for moderate speed PEALD with straightforward web handling.
This platform provides a straight in-line path for ALD processing, greatly simplifying web handling, and facilitating processing of very wide, thin substrate material.
While not as fast as our TransFlexTM Roll to Roll technology, this platform offers significantly higher speed and film quality compared to competing ALD systems, while offering the flexibility of varied coating thickness without system reconfiguration.
The PlasmaShieldTM sources are autonomously isolated, preventing CVD interaction event with multi-millimeter spacing between the plasma array and the substrate, while the precursor vapor occupies the rest of the reaction space.
When coupled with our patented mixed oxide barrier materials, environmentally robust ultra-barrier coatings may be applied at web speeds up to 5-10 meters per minute.
Elegantly simple platform with great flexibility and good speed
Readily scales to thin substrates with multi-meter roll widths
Compact processing chamber with minimal substrate manipulation

Our in-line R2R platform enables PEALD on delicate and wide area rolls of substrate material, using an oscillating PlasmaShield™ head above the rolling substrate material. Flexibility in web handling and increased mechanical tolerances are greatly improved compared to competing R2R ALD systems.

A rotary batch technology that uses rotation of a disc or cylinder to transport substrates.

High-speed, low-cost Roll-to-Roll ALD that weaves a flexible substrate through separate precursor regions.

Uses a “flash” of temperature to convert the chemisorbed precursor to the final coating product.

Deposit 1-5 ALD cycles with each pass of the substrate, with up to 5 cycles per second for large area sheet processing.

Highly localized plasma source with a deactivation shroud for suspended operation in precursor-filled chambers.
