Arradiance product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Arradiance designs, manufactures, and sells Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and Molecular Layer Deposition (MLD) systems — the GEMStar XT benchtop series and the PRIME production platform — for academic and industrial research groups working on clean energy, energy storage, sensors, microelectronics, optoelectronics, and nanotechnology. The company also runs a foundry services division providing rapid-turn thin-film coatings and joint development programs, and licenses its patented nanofilm microchannel plate (MCP) technology to detector manufacturers. All equipment is designed, assembled, tested, and shipped from its 10,000 sqft facility in Littleton, Massachusetts.
Product overview
Arradiance provides a comprehensive portfolio of Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and Molecular Layer Deposition (MLD) solutions, ranging from compact benchtop research systems to production-scale platforms. The product line centers on two main system families: the GEMStar XT series (GEMStar XT, XT-P, XT-Q, XT-R) which offers scalable thermal and plasma-enhanced ALD capabilities for research applications, and the PRIME series (VERDE, PLATINUM, CUSTOM) which delivers 4x larger chamber volume and advanced configurations for production and complex structures. Both series support 2D (wafers) and 3D (particles and objects) substrates. Arradiance also provides comprehensive coating services through its foundry division, offering standard nanofilm coatings (Al2O3, Ta2O5, Pt, HfO2, TiO2, Ru, MgO, Y2O3, WN, SiO2, ZnO, SnO2, ZrO2) and joint development programs. The portfolio is complemented by a range of accessories including vacuum pumps, glovebox interfaces, load locks, and in-situ monitoring tools.

Products and services
- GEMStar XT ALD System Family Benchtop ALD platform for academic and industrial research, available in thermal (XT, XT-R), plasma-enhanced (XT-P), and advanced (XT-Q) configurations. Supports up to 300°C reactor temperature, up to four heated precursor zones, gas distribution to 200°C, Pulsed Vapor Push, flow-through and exposure modes, and runs the GEMFlow control software. For research groups needing research-grade precision in a compact, glovebox-integratable footprint.
- PRIME VERDE MLD System Production-scale MLD system with a chamber volume 4x larger than GEMStar XT, designed to excel at growing organic films. Features intuitive multi-level heads-up GUI, next-generation safety protocols, and full support for 2D and 3D substrates. For industrial and academic researchers needing high-volume organic and hybrid thin-film deposition.
- PRIME PLATINUM ALD System Production-scale ALD powerhouse configurable with up to 14 sources, improved reactor and precursor delivery thermal uniformity, increased process control, and support for low-volatile precursors. Handles single substrates and batch operation up to 200mm or M12 substrates and 3D objects. For industrial R&D and pilot production in advanced materials, semiconductors, and energy.
- PRIME CUSTOM Deposition System Custom-configured deposition system starting from the PRIME PLATINUM or VERDE base, tailored to specific deposition requirements. Configurable across substrates, precursor/materials, plug-and-play options, and substrate-specific support. For customers with specialized deposition needs not met by standard configurations.
- Foundry Coating Services Rapid-turn thin-film coating service providing ALD, PEALD, and MLD depositions on customer substrates in a Class 1,000 clean room. Standard nanofilm coating library covers Al2O3, Ta2O5, Pt, HfO2, TiO2, Ru, MgO, Y2O3, WN, SiO2, ZnO, SnO2, and ZrO2, with joint development programs and pilot/volume production available. For customers who prefer to outsource deposition rather than purchase capital equipment, and for prototype-to-production programs.
