Finland-Based Comptek Solutions announced that it has successfully designed and installed a pilot line that integrates its Kontrox passivation technology with industry-standard techniques like Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) for substrates up to 200mm. The company says that its technology minimizes surface defects and ensuring an exceptionally high-quality III-V dielectric interface.
The new facility enables Comptek to deliver scalable solutions for a wide range of applications, including power electronics and optoelectronics. One of the key applications for Comptek are microLED devices. Back in 2022, we posted a spotlight on Comptek and a short interview with its CEO, that highlights how the performance of microLED devices is increased thanks to the passivation technology.
The pilot line is equipped with a suite of tools tailored for high-quality passivation on up to 200mm compound semiconductor substrates, featuring the Kontrox reactor, an ALD-dedicated chamber and advanced chemical processing in a glove box, which together ensure continuous, contaminant-free processing. The company says that this configuration, within a streamlined cluster system, enables precise layer deposition, surface treatment, and encapsulation optimized for high uniformity and yield.
This pilot line marks the completion of the two-year "Enlight" project funded by the European Innovation Council (EIC) by the end of October 2024.
Comptek Solution is a MicroLED Industry Association member.
