    Capacitors are core components of every electronic device. As the trend is towards
constantly miniaturizing and more and more integrated electronic modules, there is a need
to develop completely new, disruptive technologies to outperform the existing solutions -
especially in areas where flawless performance, long lifetime, and unfaltering reliability
are required, such as in medical, space, and aviation applications. 3D-nanofabricated
microelectronic components answer this challenge. In high density and high voltage 3D
trench capacitors, deep trench structures coated with ultra-thin high-k oxide and metallic
layers enable superior voltage and charge density properties.

    Picosun's ALD technology is well-established in production of high quality dielectrics
for various microelectronic industry applications. Now, PICOSUN(TM) batch ALD tools
[http://www.picosun.com/en/products/picosun8482+p-series ] optimized for the novel
capacitor technology have been proven to reduce cost-of-ownership and deliver excellent
uniformity and step coverage for high-k dielectrics into 3D structures.

     "Industrialization of the new capacitor technology requires fast and fully automated
batch ALD systems. PICOSUN(TM) batch ALD tools
[http://www.picosun.com/en/products/picosun8482+p-series ] specifically designed for this
purpose create an important competitive edge to our company. The ability to provide
complete, turn-key solutions for cost-efficient manufacturing of the key components for
the most advanced IC devices makes Picosun the choice of leading electronics
manufacturers", summarizes Juhana Kostamo, Managing Director of Picosun.

    Picosun provides the most advanced ALD thin film coating technology to enable the
industrial leap into the future, with high end production solutions and unmatched
expertise in the field. Today, PICOSUN(TM) ALD equipment are in daily manufacturing use in
numerous major industries around the world. Picosun is based in Finland, with subsidiaries
in North America, China, Taiwan, Singapore, and Japan, and a world-wide sales and support
network. For further information visit http://www.picosun.com

    The development work for industrialization of the new capacitor technology was carried
out in the European Union's 7th Framework Program project PICS [http://www.fp7-pics.eu ],
running from September 2013 to October 2015.
