Longer Life for Flexible Electronics With Picosun ALD
ESPOO, Finland, May 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Picosun Oy, the leading supplier of high quality ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition)
production solutions, brings to the printed electronics market ALD equipment specifically
designed for large area flexible electronics encapsulation.

Manufacturing electronic components on flexible plastic substrates enables
light-weight, bendable, and lower cost end-user products. Flexible displays, wearable
electronics and "smart" clothes are some of the most common examples. More specific
applications can be found in medical and security industries, where advanced X-ray
detectors are being developed utilizing organic electronic components printed on plastic
foils.
Organic electronics has the potential to enable a whole new generation of products,
but one of its main drawbacks is the components' sensitivity to moisture and airborne
impurities. Ultra-thin ALD nanolaminates provide an ideal solution to this. Flexible,
invisible, and practically weightless ALD films form dense and pinhole-free encapsulation
over the components' surface, down to the smallest nanoscale details. In Picosun's new
large area ALD tools, especially developed for the needs of the printed electronics
industries, high quality ALD films can be manufactured cost-efficiently on large plastic
sheets and at temperatures low enough for sensitive organic materials.
"We have again put our extensive expertise in ALD system design to work to realize
completely novel technology for the vast market of printed electronics. Our new, large
area batch ALD systems are developed and optimized in collaboration with these industries.
Their disruptive design enables cost-efficient encapsulation of large sheets of organic
electronic components, producing sustainable, long-lived end products for consumers as
well as industries," summarizes Mr. Timo Malinen, Chief Operating Officer of Picosun.
Picosun provides the most advanced ALD thin film coating technology to enable the
industrial leap into the future, with turn-key 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, Singapore, Taiwan, China, and Japan, and a world-wide sales and support
network. For more information visit http://www.picosun.com.
