Scott Butcher at Carleton University 9th Annual Nano-Ontario Conference.
Meaglow is developing the next generation of equipment to improve your deposition results.
Meaglow was founded in 2009, and has worked to develop new methodologies and equipment for semiconductor deposition. In 2012, Meaglow launched the first of its hollow cathode plasma sources, which have been instrumental in reducing oxygen contamination in nitride films for the ALD community resulting in some of the best layers grown to date. Interest in the plasma source has now grown to the point where Meaglow has been asked to supply whole ALD/ALE systems with its newest plasma source designs. The first such system has already been delivered.
