PicoOS enables full factory integration via SECS/GEM protocol, process and system data logging down to 20 ms rate, and real-time export of all data for continuous monitoring and further analysis.
PicoOS operating system is specifically developed by Picosun's own in-house software team for the company's fully automated production ALD systems Morpher and Sprinter, and it will be implemented in all future PICOSUN ALD tool platforms.
"PicoOS is designed to ensure the highest control precision and accuracy, the fastest service times, and the best user experience for our customers. Having in-house control over all features and sub-components of our PICOSUN ALD solutions is a key part of our holistic service model," continues Kivioja.
PicoOS has freely configurable and scalable editor for ALD process recipe and processing job creation and storage, and recipes can be edited or new ones created any time during the ALD system operation. Configurable user levels and safety logic, instrumentation and interlocks guarantee safe use in day-to-day operations, and allow full access for tool management in maintenance situations. Maintenance procedures are sped up by specific clean-up and maintenance sequences inbuilt in the software.
