1: Introduction – Unlocking the Future of Atomic-Scale Manufacturing

The field of atomic-scale manufacturing is undergoing a major transformation. As industries demand greater precision, material flexibility, and sustainability, conventional fabrication methods such as Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) are reaching their limits. These traditional approaches, while foundational to modern microfabrication, are constrained by slow processing speeds, high vacuum requirements, and the need for additional patterning techniques such as photolithography and etching.

The increasing complexity of semiconductor devices, the emergence of quantum computing, the growth of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), high-performance computing (HPC) solutions, and the need for sustainable manufacturing have accelerated the search for a more advanced and adaptable fabrication method.

To overcome these challenges, ATLANT 3D has developed DALP®, an industry-first technology that enables maskless, direct-write, and multi-material deposition with atomic precision. DALP® eliminates the complexity of conventional deposition techniques and introduces software-driven atomic fabrication, making on-demand, programmable nanomanufacturing a reality. One can read more about DALP® via open access scientific article in Small Methods.

Unlike ALD, which relies on vacuum-based, sequential deposition, or CVD and PVD, which lack spatial resolution and precision, DALP® allows for localized, real-time deposition of functional materials, accelerating device fabrication and opening new possibilities in material science.

The impact of DALP® extends across multiple industries, including semiconductors, MEMS, photonics, quantum computing, and space manufacturing.

Key Features of DALP® Technology

Maskless, Direct-Write Atomic Deposition

One of the biggest challenges in modern nanomanufacturing is the reliance on photolithography to pattern materials after deposition. ALD, for example, requires blanket film deposition followed by photoresist masking, exposure, and etching to create desired structures. This multi-step approach increases fabrication time, waste, and cost.

DALP® eliminates the need for lithography altogether by enabling localized atomic-layer processing, where materials are deposited only where needed. This direct-write approach allows for:

  • On-demand material patterning without masks or etching.
  • Real-time modifications to device designs, reducing prototyping cycles.
  • Lower-cost and more sustainable fabrication, as unnecessary processing steps are removed.

Multi-Material Processing in a Single Step

Traditional ALD, CVD, and PVD processes require separate deposition cycles for different materials, often necessitating chamber switching, precursor purging, or additional cleaning steps to avoid cross-contamination. This makes it challenging to create heterogeneous, multi-material device architectures efficiently.

DALP® overcomes this limitation by allowing multi-material integration in a single process step but at the same time using standard and low-vapour pressure precursors typically available on the market and validated by the ALD community (https://atomiclimits.com/alddatabase/):

  • Seamless deposition of oxides, metals, nitrides, and sulfides without requiring process interruptions.
  • Heterogeneous device fabrication, where multiple materials with different functionalities can be combined at the atomic level.
  • Custom material structures, such as engineered quantum materials, tunable refractive index coatings, and integrated photonic-electronic systems.

Conventional thin-film deposition techniques require precise control over precursor exposure times and reaction conditions, which are often manually optimized. This process can be slow, error-prone, and difficult to scale.

By upgrading DALP® with integrated AI-driven process control, unlocking the potential for:

  • Real-time monitoring and correction of deposition conditions, ensuring atomic-scale precision.
  • Automated optimization of material properties, reducing variability and improving device performance.
  • Self-learning fabrication algorithms can adapt to different materials, substrates, and device designs dynamically.
