New Generation Atomic Layer Deposition Machine Procured

Adisyn Ltd (ASX: AI1) (“Adisyn” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that 2D Generation Ltd (“2DG”) has ordered a highly specialised semiconductor manufacturing system called an Atomic Layer Deposition Machine (“ALD”).

Highlights:

2D Generation has ordered highly specialised Atomic Layer Deposition (“ALD”) machine from Beneq Beneq is a global leader in ALD equipment with customers spanning the semiconductor and electronics industries New generation ALD to complement 2D Generation’s current ALD and accelerate the development of its semiconductor technologies including the graphene coated interconnect Installation expected in 5-6 months Work will continue with 2D Generation’s current equipment Adisyn will leverage 2D Generation’s innovative semiconductor solution to generate opportunities in AI1’s target markets including defence applications, data centres and cybersecurity

AI1 entered into a binding Share Purchase Agreement to acquire 2DG, a semiconductor IP business, as announced on 4 November 2024. The companies continue to work together to identify significant opportunities to leverage 2D Generation’s semiconductor solutions and industry relationships to enhance AI1’s offering in its target markets. In furthering that goal, 2DG has ordered a speciality ALD from leading manufacturer Beneq, utilising funds provided by AI1. The companies have entered into a material loan agreement on terms outlined in Annexure A (Loan Agreement Terms).

Atomic Layer Deposition Machine

An ALD machine is utilised in the semiconductor industry to deposit extremely thin layers (down to the atomic layer) of material on to chips. They are found in most semiconductor fabs around the globe.

2DG has ordered an ALD with specific benefits including:

Liquid source precursor compatible Ozone source (O3) compatible Reaction chamber for 200 mm wafers, with substrate adapter for 100/150 mm wafers Plasma option, deposition temperature up to 400 degrees °C

These features will enable 2DG to achieve a high level of product readiness.

Beneq is the home of the ALD. In 1984, Beneq established the world’s first industrial production using ALD. Today, Beneq lead the market with products for R&D, semiconductor device fabrication, 3D and batch production, ultra-fast spatial ALD, and roll-to-roll ALD.

Paul Rich, 2DG’s Technology Lead, says“we have spent months specifying the perfect ALD system for our requirements. We canvassed all the major suppliers and decided that Beneq was best positioned to deliver the system that meets our complex technology requirements. I have spent my career working within thin film deposition to advance semiconductor technology and I am confident that with this ALD we will be able to accelerate development towards a commercially viable product that the industry needs. We are continuing development efforts with existing equipment to be ready for the new ALD installation so that we can hit the ground running.”

Paul Rich has more than 35 years of experience in the semiconductor industry. Paul was the Vice President for Technology and Engineering at SPTS Technologies which is owned by KLA Corporation (NASDAQ:KLAC, US$91B market cap), where he managed the product development team until December 2022. SPTS develops and manufactures advanced wafer processing solutions for the world’s leading semiconductor and microelectronic device manufacturers. Paul graduated from Bath University in 1987 with a B.Sc in Physics. He has published numerous technical articles and has several patents relating to plasma processing.
