Picosun Group, headquartered in Espoo, Finland, is the world's leading supplier of atomic layer deposition (ALD) thin film coating technology. The company's atomic layer deposition thin film coating technology is mainly used in the manufacture of computer chips, light-emitting diodes, watches and clocks, and medical equipment. Recently, the company recently expanded its medical device manufacturer's product portfolio and launched an implementation plan for the PicoMEDICAL. The PicoMeDICAL product line compresses the ALD process, equipment, service, and support into an integrated package that can be applied to the company's manufacturing process. So even if you have no experience with ALD technology, you can use this technology with this package.
ALD technology is a method for making thin film coatings from the bottom up. The technology relies on continuous, self-limiting, and surface-controlled gas-phase chemical reactions (gases only react when they come into contact with the surface). A continuous atomic layer is deposited on the surface in a periodic manner until the desired film thickness is reached. Picosun explains on its website that this film-forming mechanism can produce dense materials that are crack-free, defect-free, and void-free. In addition, the method can also coat polymers and other sensitive materials at low temperatures.
The ALD film produced by the Picosun Group's equipment is ultra-thin, biocompatible and biologically active. It can be used in the preparation of surgical implants to improve the adhesion of implants to bones. Using an ALD film not only speeds up the healing process, but also protects the patient from the threat of metal ions leaking from the implant into the body. Picosun believes that this technology has great development prospects in the fields of medical wearable and implantable sensor space.
Picosun claims in its press release that it is important to develop various wearable or implantable microelectronic sensors that monitor physiological functions if it wants to further develop telemedicine solutions. The company also explained, "Advanced neurological and cardiology treatments utilize implanted probes equipped with precision microelectronic devices. All of these devices require a reliable method to protect implanted components from Corrosion of body fluids and patients' rejection caused by "foreign" objects in the body. Since several ALD materials are inherently biocompatible and the ALD method can produce the highest quality coatings, it can also be applied on the coated objects A pinhole-free, conformal, uniform, and hermetic package is formed around it. ALD technology is currently used in all areas of the medical industry, and it provides atomic-level accurate solutions to the various challenges currently facing medical device manufacturers. "
"As the inventor and pioneer of ALD technology, we at Picosun Group have the technical authority in the industry and have the ability to bring ALD technology to new application areas. Our goal is to use ALD technology to Improving the quality of life for all of us. Manufacturing of orthopedic and dental implants, implantable sensors, neurostimulators and stents is our next big goal in the medical industry. We have a deep understanding and understanding of ALD technology , As well as our comprehensive selection of equipment, as well as a comprehensive selection of technical consulting and service products, have brought convenience to medical device manufacturers who want to make revolutionary innovations in this field, thus becoming their ideal strategic partners 。
