Forge Nano installs Prometheus™ powder atomic layer deposition (PALD) equipment at Air Liquide’s Tokyo Innovation Campus.
Forge Nano, a Denver-based advanced materials equipment company, has installed one of their flagship Prometheus™ powder ALD (PALD) systems at Air Liquide Japan Ltd.’s Tokyo Innovation Campus.
The Prometheus™ research and development system is being used by Air Liquide to validate ALD precursor chemicals for PALD applications for a variety of applications including battery materials for electric vehicles and electronic materials for consumer devices.
Air Liquide, an investor in Forge Nano, is using the Prometheus™ system to perform various proofs-of-concept for subsequent scale-up at customer facilities using Forge Nano’s commercial scale equipment.
Dr. Daniel Higgs, Director Product Management.
Forge Nano values Air Liquide as a key strategic investor and partner in various established markets.
“We’re excited to provide them with a research system to accelerate adoption of PALD technology in Japan and globally for new applications. Once proofs of concept are completed by Air Liquide, we will provide end customers with commercial scale PALD equipment.”
Nicolas Blasco, Air Liquide Advanced Materials, Global Director, Emerging Markets.
Forge Nano is a recognized leader in the development and industrialization of cutting-edge powder-ALD processes.
“As the global leading ALD precursors “designer” and supplier, we are excited to install a Prometheus PALD system to support our discovery and scale-up of new ALD applications, together with our worldwide customers and partners,”
Prometheus™ PALD system:
The Prometheus™ PALD system is Forge Nano’s flagship R&D system for ALD on powders. It incorporates over 20 years of powder ALD know-how and was designed for ease of use, research flexibility, and quality of coatings. With advanced powder fluidization technology and up to 8 ALD chemical precursor lines, Prometheus™ is the most capable powder ALD system on the market.
Prometheus features:
- 1mL – 600ml (~1kg) of powder per batch.
- Proprietary fluidization technology enables uniform fluidization and deposition
- Up to 8 ALD chemical precursors connection enable a multitude of coatings
- Interchangeable reactor bodies ensure precise coating of various batch sizes
- Inert isolation and handling capabilities of air-sensitive powders
Forge Nano’s team of ALD experts guide our customers through the entire process, making ALD feasible for nearly any industry. Forge’s commercial systems for ALD on powders include Lithos™, Circe™, Morpheus™, while their systems for ALD on wafers/objects include Theia™, Apollo™, and Helios™.
Highlights:
- Forge Nano, a global leader in surface engineering with atomic layer deposition (ALD) sells the top-of-the-line Prometheus™ development system. Air Liquide is using the system to validate applications for ALD-enabled powders in Japan and Globally.
