AbstractNon-Technical description: Digital devices like smartphones and computers increasingly require smaller, faster, and more reliable components. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) systems help develop these components by coating complex surfaces with ultra-thin, uniform layers, often just a few atoms thick. These coatings improve the performance, safety, and durability of these devices. The acquisition of the ALD system will support research in areas ranging from microelectronics and energy technologies
