Picosun establishes joint industrial ALD research lab at Taiwan's NCTU

Taiwan's National Chiao Tung University (NCTU) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) equipment maker Picosun Oy of Espoo, Finland have established a Joint Industrial ALD Research Laboratory at the premises of the X-Photonics Interdisciplinary Center at NCTU to use ALD technology to realize a new generation of micro- and optoelectronic devices.

Through the collaboration, NCTU and Picosun aim to develop a wide range of interdisciplinary technology solutions for applications such as microelectronic devices for the 7nm technology node, high-brightness light-emitting diodes (HBLEDs), and high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMT). Both fundamental research and advanced device fabrication for industrial applications will be the core objectives of the lab.

"Picosun, with their world-leading experience in ALD system design and process knowhow, has been chosen as our ALD technology provider," says professor Hao-Chung Kuo, associate VP of NCTU, and a fellow of both the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and the Optical Society of America (OSA).

"Establishing a partnership and a joint research laboratory with NCTU will provide our existing and future industry customers not only local access to our technology for their applications, but also stronger collaboration ties for future-generation products enabled by our ALD technology," says Dr Wei-Min Li, CEO of Picosun Asia and applications director of Picosun Group. "This is further supported by our newest subsidiary, Picosun Taiwan, which was established two months ago," he adds.
