Dr. Tuomo Suntola, the inventor of ALD and Picosun Board member, has received the Millennium Technology Prize 2018. The prize was announced and awarded in Helsinki Tuesday 22nd May.
“ Tuomo Suntola的创新导致了ALD方法的大规模商业利用。他看到了微电子和信息技术中原子层沉积和薄膜技术的巨大潜力。
”Dr. Tuomo Suntola’s work benefits the whole mankind. The super-efficient everyday electronics of today are based on ALD. Health technology is taking giant leaps forward with ALD, and we will see the same happening to many other branches of industry in the near future,” says Mr. Kustaa Poutiainen, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Picosun.
Suntola在1974年已经发明了原子层沉积（ALD）。随之而来的是，即使在三维表面上，也可以在各种表面上生长，厚度降低到只有几百万分之几。当气态前体化学物质与表面反应时，ALD膜一次通过一个原子层生长。他领先于他的时代，因为半导体行业开始利用ALD的生产规模花了30多年的时间。很快，奥尔德（Ald）彻底改变了整个行业。随着晶体管和记忆的效率，晶体管和记忆的规模不断缩小。
ALD正在促进各地的发展。在不久的将来，拥有数十亿个配备ALD电影的高科技传感器拥有数十亿个高科技传感器，其健康技术和文字具有数十亿个高科技传感器。ALD可以使更明亮，更持久的LED，即使在手表，珠宝和收藏家硬币中也可以找到ALD电影。
Tuomo Suntola在公司成立几年后加入了Picosun，首先是一名技术顾问，但很快也是其中一位所有者和董事会成员。该公司拥有很多经验和他和他的亲密同事Sven Lindfors带来的沉默知识。
”All of us here at Picosun congratulate Tuomo. And I am sure that the whole ALD community joins us. Tuomo is an incredible innovator, who has definitely deserved this prize. At Picosun, it is our obligation to Tuomo to keep spearheading the development of ALD, as an agile and innovation-driven company,” says Poutiainen.
