Plasma-Photon MOCVD platform for wafer-scale 2D TMD growth below 450 °C
The NanoGalaxy PPMOCVD grows atomically uniform 2D transition-metal-dichalcogenide monolayers on full 300 mm wafers at CMOS back-end-of-line temperatures. ICP plasma activation lowers the precursor energy barrier while in-situ UV irradiation removes defects in real time — delivering production-grade material quality at 60 wafers per hour for monolithic 3D integration, advanced memory, and 1 nm-node logic.
