Design:
APOLLOTM uses our millisecond response ALD manifold that integrates our patented Fast Pneumatic Valves (FPV) to deliver over 100 million trouble-free cycles of composite and nanolaminate ALD films. This manifold is the only ALD manifold that can switch composition every cycle without any throughput penalty. Field proven, our valves set records for speed, reliability, lifetime and safety, while performing at temperatures as high as 220°C. Forge Nano’s ALD valves are the only doubly contained, spill-free UHP valves on the market.
