Abstract

An apparatus and method for performing atomic layer deposition. A plurality of substrates are loaded into a plurality of reaction cells. The reaction cells are disposed in a reaction chamber isolated from an exterior condition. Various paper substances are ultimately and repeatedly applied onto each substrate such that a thin film is formed on each substrate. The plurality of vapor injection pipes each inject one of the vapor substances by periodically scanning over each substrate to apply substance.
