Direct Atomic Layer Processing (μDALP), which works by sequentially applying reactive gases to a surface via a microreactor/micronozzle and generating self-controlled chemical reactions on the surface. Repeating this process in cycles enables rapid, direct, multi-material, atomically precise patterning and structuring on simple and complex surfaces, including semiconductor wafers and surfaces with existing structures and devices. Integrating multiple micronozzles in a single printhead allows increasingly complex structures to be fabricated through the simultaneous use of different materials and printing resolutions. 

ATLANT 3D equipment is built as modular units which gives compatibility across different platforms and technologies. It can work as a production line based on process modules and as a cluster tool-compatible module unit.
