SparkNano is a high-tech product company that designs and commercialises Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition tools (S-ALD) redefining nanofabrication on an industrial scale. SparkNano's Spatial ALD technology enables its customers to deposit thin, functional layers, thereby increasing performance and reducing costs for manufacturing fuel cells, batteries and solar cells.
SparkNano's patented technology plays a critical role in addressing the global challenge of creating a sustainable way of generating, storing, and converting energy. It provides solutions by significantly reducing the waste of scarce materials used in electrolysers and enhancing the performance, lifetime, and stability of next-generation fuel cells, batteries, and solar cells. SparkNano's product range includes versatile and flexible R&D tools for process development and pilot production (Labline series) and fab tools for mass production on planar, porous, and flexible substrates, either via sheet-to-sheet (Vellum) or roll-to-roll (Omega) series respectively.
Each product is based on atmospheric pressure Spatial ALD, either thermal- or plasma-enhanced. This technology enables the deposition of thin films with atomic-scale precision and uniformity at high speeds and large areas, ensuring a low cost of ownership. Furthermore, SparkNano offers customers a total solution, including production ramp-up support, recipe development, and application and process support resulting in a seamless Lab to Fab transition.
Founded in 2018, the company has built extensive application knowledge and a network consisting of major technology research centers, market-leading technology companies, and technology partners. These include TNO, Holst Center, Solliance, Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), VDL, and Air Liquide.
