The Swiss Cluster Edge: Technology Tailored for Excellence

The first (PE)-ALD and PVD cluster system in a compact and modular equipment package

The SC-1 is a ground-breaking and high-performing cluster machine that combines Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) with Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) in an extremely compact, modular, and fully automated system for high-throughput production of multi-nanolayered coatings from the ALD and PVD materials library. 

This innovative patent-pending cluster system revolutionizes the traditional cluster equipment, as it eliminates the need for transfer arms and multiple antechambers, which occupy a significant amount of lab space, with high acquisition, operating and maintenance costs.

Swiss Cluster embodies the Swiss ethos of excellence.

Here's how:

  • Modular and Scalable Systems: Like the famous Swiss Army knife, Swiss Cluster's technology is adaptable and scalable, designed for breakthroughs in material science. Easily increase or decrease chamber dimensions. For instance, their SC-1 Series integrates ALD and PVD in ways that revolutionize thin film deposition, offering solutions from R&D to industrial applications.

  • Global Impact, American Application: Their technologies, like the …, not only push the boundaries in … but also demonstrate how Swiss innovation can be applied globally, particularly resonating with American industries seeking cutting-edge advancements.

  • Capable of performing both Plasma Enhanced-ALD and PVD: Deposition flexibility without breaking the vacuum or moving the samples between chambers to fabricate hundreds of multi-nanolayered films, reducing fabrication time.

  • Case Studies of Success: Swiss Cluster's systems have already empowered researchers worldwide. An example includes enabling novel material coatings that combine the durability of PVD with the precision of ALD, opening new avenues in electronics and aerospace.

Why ALD and PVD?

The combination of ALD and PVD without breaking vacuum offer several advantages to fabricate advanced materials with tailored functionalities and properties.

One of the primary benefits is the ability to achieve high-quality interfaces between the different layers of the coating material.

The introduction of very conformal and pinhole-free films via ALD can stabilize the grain size of the PVD layers and hinder grain growth, which translates to improved mechanical and thermal properties.

Additionally, the material is not exposed to air and therefore there is no risk of contamination or oxidation. Since both ALD and PVD can deposit materials with atomic-level precision, combining the two techniques can allow for the creation of highly complex structures with unique properties that cannot be achieved using other methods.

Combining ALD and PVD without breaking vacuum can be a powerful approach to creating advanced materials with tailored functionalities and properties for a wide range of applications, including those in the semiconductor industry, optical coatings, hard coatings, and medical industry among others.
