It seems that the rather wicked prognosis made by Gartner and others that ALD equipment market will doouble until 2018 may really be for all and not only the semiconductor OEMs. Here is goood news froom Arradiance that are steaming away!
As announced by Arradiance: Sales of GEMStar XT benchtop ALD systems including rapid market
adoption of the new GEMStar XT-P plasma-enhanced system resulted in 73%
sales growth in 2015 Coupled with a strengthened balance sheet,
Arradiance expects to outgrow the market again in 2016.
GEMStar-8 XT PEALD™ Benchtop PEALD/Thermal ALD System
Arradiance LLC, manufacturer of the popular GEMStar family
of benchtop Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) systems for research and light
production, today announced an impressive 73% sales growth for 2015 of
their highly popular GEMStar family of benchtop Atomic Layer Deposition
(ALD) systems for research and light production.
“We are extremely
gratified by the market acceptance of our GEMStar XT line of thermal ALD
systems. Most notable is the adoption of our new GEMStar XT-P plasma
plus thermal system; the world’s only commercial benchtop,
plasma-enhanced tool,” said Arradiance President, Ken Stenton.
The reactors are stackable!
“Introduction of plasma capability to our benchtop architecture has
raised the profile of the product line to a new level,” explained Mr.
Stenton. “Customers now view Arradiance as a full-service ALD equipment
company, on par with or exceeding the capabilities of companies that
offer much larger and more expensive commercial systems. The number of
films and applications being developed on the GEMStar systems is growing
geometrically.”
Arradiance entered the ALD equipment market in 2010 and has since
become one of the fastest growing companies in a crowded field.
Customers cite innovation, attention to design detail and superior
aftermarket service as some of the reasons for the company’s growing
success. Looking forward, Mr. Stenton predicted that, “Coupled with an
increased level of support from our investment partners, our existing
backlog and sales pipeline should propel Arradiance sales growth to
again outpace the market in 2016. Driven by new applications in energy,
bio-engineering and high energy physics, demand for reasonably priced,
full feature ALD systems continues to grow.”
