SoLayTec is a spin-off company from the Dutch research organization TNO, which has a strong background in semiconductor, space and solar industry. The company will develop, deliver and service worldwide machines for atomic layer deposition (ALD) on solar cells. The ALD machines from SoLayTec are intended for industrial production in the solar market. Using ALD in that context has been impossible until now because of the very low speed of ALD and thus the high cost. The unique feature of the SoLayTec machines is the breakthrough speed that enables industrial application.
