Forge Nano just wrapped a busy week presenting at the American Chemical Society fall event here in Denver, CO. 

Thanks to all that attended our various talks on #ALDep, and a special shoutout to those that attended our happy hour last night. Looking forward to connecting with you all again next year!

Did you miss the Volta Foundation webinar?
 
Watch the replay or download the slides at the link below.
 
During the panel, Forge Nano's VP of Energy Storage Barbara Hughes,
discusses how Forge Nano’s proprietary Atomic Layer Deposition technology, Atomic Armor, optimizes battery materials by applying protective nanocoatings engineered to improve battery product performance and lifetime. 

The webinar covered Forge Nano’s work on high-nickel NMC, graphite and silicon anodes, and gives a glimpse into the newly formed Forge Battery, which intends to produce cylindrical cells using ALD-coated materials at gigawatt hour scale.

Day 2 of #ALDALE2024 is off to the races, starting with our VP of R&D, Arrelaine Dameron's, talk on scaling #ALDep for coating graphite anodes. She showcased some fantastic results of process consistency of 45 kg graphite batches and electrochemical enhancements achieved in our continuous vibrating bed reactor.

The exhibition continues in full-swing today so feel free to stop by to see us at Booth 42 to chat about your applications in powder ALD and scale up challenges.

At #ALDALE2024, ASM’s Ivo Raaijmakers showed that the single wafer #ALDep market could reach as high as $5.0B by 2027, with the current wave of metal ALD partially propelling it.

Even with many equipment suppliers having moved to batch processing tools to increase throughput, the need for high-quality films with high yield remains. These are just a few reasons we are excited to have TEPHRA in our product lineup, our single wafer, thermal ALD cluster platform.

The core tenants of TEPHRA - high throughputs, high chemical efficiency and low waste – combine to create an ALD tool without the traditional tradeoffs of the technology. Plus its ability to perform metal ALD with a thermal process opens the door for new applications in the #semiconductor industry, especially those with complex or high-aspect ratio structures, like through wafer vias.

TEPHRA is positioned to enable solutions unattainable with traditional thermal or plasma-enhanced ALD, expanding the bounds of scalable ALD processes in semiconductor manufacturing. To learn more about TEPHRA and our ALDx technology, please contact marketing@forgenano.com!

The Forge Nano team thanks everyone for the fantastic meeting and great conversations at #ALDALE2024. With attendance approaching record highs, it was an excellent opportunity to see some old friends and meet new faces. We feel fortunate to be part of such a wonderful community and to have the chance to have celebrated the 50 year anniversary of #ALDep in Finland where it all began.

Our team had the pleasure of presenting scale up data in our continuous processing tool for improving battery materials and results on catalyzed AlN deposition for power, RF and high-aspect ratio applications, in addition to participating in an ever-expanding exhibition.

If you didn’t get the chance to chat with our team at the conference, we would still love to hear from you! If you have any questions for our team regarding powder ALD, battery manufacturing or catalyzed deposition, or have interest in learning more about our talks, please feel free to reach out to marketing@forgenano.com!

R&D Scientist on our Semiconductor team, Sara Harris, dominating the final day of #ALDALE2024 with an excellent talk on our catalyzed AlN #ALDep process for power and resonator applications. Sara showed our ability to turn turn thermal AlN processes on & off with a catalyst, and its ability to coat porous  and complex substrates with aspect ratios as high as 30:1, a feat unachievable with conventional plasma AlN processes.

Sara also gave a poster on doping SiO2 films with phosphite to increase the conductivity of proton exchange membranes. 

We will still be in the exhibition until the end of the conference for any last minute chats at Booth #42. Hope to see you one last time in Helsinki!
