MOISTURE BARRIERS

Highly dense and defect-free, Forge Nano’s encapsulation solutions are applied at the device or wafer level, providing robust, long-lasting protection against moisture and gas ingress. Our multilayer nanolaminate design ensures reliable operation of your devices, even in extreme operating environments.

Integration

  • Catalyzed processes eliminate need for plasma hardware

  • Single-chamber depositions enable fast process switching

  • Increased throughput by eliminating transfer time between thermal and plasma modules

Process & Materials

  • Multi-oxide nanolaminates with modular designs to fit your device specifications

  • Up to 100x less material needed compared to thick PECVD films

  • Oxides Available: Al2O3, SiO2, HfO2, TiO2, ZrO2

 

Performance & Reliability

  • Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR) as low as 10-10 g/m2/day

  • No oxygen contamination after 100 hours in HAST environments

  • Legacy tools running process in field for over 10 years

 

APPLICATION NOTE

ALD-Cap® is a flexible ceramic coating with exceptional barrier performance due to the pin-hole free and low stress nature of the atomic layer deposition (ALD) films used. ALD-CAP nanolaminates utilize alternating layers of oxide films offering better water vapor transmission rates at a fraction of the thickness compared to PECVD.
