Deptec’s plasma spectrometer is primed to play an integral role in the booming semiconductor manufacturing and thin-film sectors.
SAN DIEGO, CA – December 17, 2024 – Dalrada Financial Corporation (OTC: DHTI, “Dalrada,” “the Company”), announced today that Spectroptix®, a proprietary advanced plasma spectrometer developed by its subsidiary, Deposition Technology (“Deptec,”), is now available for advance ordering.
”Spectroptix® will be a real game-changer in the microchip and semiconductor world and we’re quite thrilled to offer pre-ordering for our clients.
Brian BonarDalrada’s Chairman and CEO
The one-of-a-kind spectrometer is designed for precise element detection in vacuum chambers during deposition or semiconductor manufacturing processes, allowing for the integration of advanced plasma spectroscopy. This specialized tool also offers a host of other key features and benefits, according to Brian Bonar, Dalrada’s Chairman and CEO.
“Spectroptix® is the ideal machine for the semiconductor industry,” said Bonar. “For starters, it can be integrated into various vacuum-based processes, from thin film coatings to plasma-enhanced CVD and PVD systems. It’s also quite easy to operate. Spectroptix® will be a real game-changer in the microchip and semiconductor world and we’re quite thrilled to offer pre-ordering for our clients.”
Dalrada’s Spectroptix® delivers real-time actionable data on materials within each vacuum chamber during the deposition process, ensuring higher accuracy, efficiency, and process control. Other benefits of the advanced spectrometer include:
- Plasma creation: a background plasma independent of the deposition process, ensuring that no process contamination or interference occurs during analysis.
- Enhanced Process Control: using real-time data, Spectroptix® enables precise control over deposition environments, allowing for on-the-fly adjustments to gas flow or composition.
- User-Friendly Interface: intuitive software control that allows remote operation for operators to visualize and analyze light spectrum data for efficient optimization.
- Preferred over Residual Gas Analyzers (RGAs): more cost-effective solution than RGAs, plus RGAs do not come standard with vacuum technology.
Dalrada’s Spectroptix® is particularly well-suited for applications requiring ultra-thin films and sensitive optical coatings, like semiconductor manufacturing, microelectronics, optoelectronics, advanced material processing, and more. Future target markets include pharmaceuticals, aerospace/defense, materials science, nuclear industries, and food and beverage.
With a mature product line firmly in place within the deposition technology marketplace, Dalrada has its sights on further expanding its unique portfolio, adding robust solutions to include a new chemical vapor deposition (CVD) platform—the CVD system—which would join the company’s popular Novellus C1 upgrade kit for legacy CVD machines.
“With our increased production and installation capabilities plus the rollout of new products providing even greater opportunities, making Spectroptix® available for pre-ordering is just the beginning,” added Bonar.
