Performance
APOLLO provides fully automatic cassette-to-cassette ALD processes with high throughput performance at the lowest cost of ownership. APOLLO leads in every aspect of ALD productivity, performance and cost, and sets a new standard for efficiency while reducing environmental impact. With its ‘zero-waste’ processing, APOLLO lowers factory power consumption and occupies a smaller footprint on the clean-room floor.

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.
