TODAY

Incumbent Technology

Non-uniform, randomly oriented grains of small size = higher resistivity

FUTURE

IBD

• Industry leader in Ion Beam Technology

• Lower resistance metals essential for improved device

performance & customer scaling

• IBD achieving superior thin film properties vs incumbent

technologies, including lower resistivity

• Ideal for advanced applications where low resistance is

critical

• Potential for initial memory HVM orders in 2025

Uniformly oriented large grains = lowest resistivity
