Send us the sample. We'll deposit the film. When you need an ALD or MLD coating but not a tool of your own, our Littleton, MA foundry provides rapid-turn atomic layer deposition services. Use this option for one-off films, small batches, or qualifying a process before you invest in a system. Rapid-turn ALD & MLD coating. Arradiance runs an ALD and MLD coating foundry in Littleton, Massachusetts. It deposits thermal ALD, PE-ALD, and MLD films on wafers up to 300 mm, powders, porous media, fibers, and 3D parts. Our atomic layer deposition services run on the same GEMStar and PRIME systems we sell, operated by the people who know them best. That means production-grade process control on your substrates, with the flexibility a research timeline needs. Standard jobs are quoted at a four-week turnaround and usually come back sooner. When the timeline is tight, a one-week expedited service is available. Typical jobs range from a handful of wafers to powder and 3D-part batches, across oxide, nitride, metal, and hybrid organic-inorganic (MLD) chemistries. Capabilities & substrates What we can coat. - Substrates: wafers up to 300mm, powders, porous media, fibers, and 3D parts. - Chemistries: Pt, Al₂O₃, SiO₂, TiO₂, Ru, HfO₂, TiN, SnO₂, ZnO, self-assembled monolayers, and many more. - Process modes: thermal ALD, plasma-enhanced ALD (PE-ALD), and molecular layer deposition (MLD). - Documentation & metrology: a process summary with every job. Film characterization is taken from silicon witness coupons run alongside your parts: typically post-process ellipsometry (thickness and optical properties) representative of the film deposited in that run. In-situ QCM (quartz crystal microbalance) monitoring is available during deposition, and we support third-party metrology on request. From sample to coated part. 1 Tell us the job: Substrate, target film and thickness, and your timeline. We confirm feasibility and a quote. 2 Send your sample: Ship to Littleton, MA with the prep notes we provide. We confirm receipt. 3 We coat & verify: We run your process on a GEMStar or PRIME system and check the result. 4 Parts back to you: Coated parts returned with a process summary. Standard jobs are quoted at four weeks and usually come back sooner; one-week expedited service is available.
