How thin are Genus ALD films?

To conceive of 100 angstroms, consider the following:

A human hair is approximately 100 microns thick.

100 microns = 1,000,000 angstroms

1 human hair = 1,000,000 angstroms

1/10,000 of a human hair = 100 angstroms


A typical distance between atoms is approximately 3 angstroms.

So, a deposited film that is 100 angstroms is approximately 33 atoms thick.

Genus is capable of depositing continuous films that are only 10 angstroms thick!
