Silicon nitride is known to be a challenging material for ALD. Our systems allow for high material quality and low damage deposition, even at low deposition temperature. ALD silicon nitride can be used for moisture barrier applications and as a spacer in advanced transistors.

High material quality and low damage, even at low deposition temperature.
