PICOSUN® Morpher T offers fully automated handling of wafers and an industry standard single wafer vacuum cluster platform. It can also be combined with PICOSUN® Morpher F, batch wafer process module, or with PICOSUN® Morpher P, plasma enhanced ALD single wafer process module. The state of the art reaction design enables a wide process library even for demanding processes and demanding applications, without deposition on the backside of the substrate for easy process flow integration. Furthermore, the SEMI S2/S8 certification ensures that the system is compatible with the strictest standards of the industry.

PICOSUN® Morpher T single wafer thermal ALD system can be integrated to factory automation via SECS/GEM protocol. Our own, proprietary, SEMI-compliant PicoOS™ operating system and process control software allows control of the whole Morpher cluster via one intuitive, userfriendly HMI (human-machine interface) for easy, safe and fail-proof operation, no matter how many process modules of the Morpher family are connected to the cluster. The patented dual chamber, hot-wall reactor design with fully separated precursor conduits and inlets, enables the highest quality ALD films with excellent yield, low particle levels, and superior electrical and optical performance.

The compact, ergonomic design with easy and fast maintenance ensures minimum system downtime and lowest cost-of-ownership in the market.
